Book Reviews of The Certified Diver's Handbook: The Complete Guide to Your Own Underwater Adventures
Book Review: A Superb Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book takes you with gentle and thorough practicality through the steps needed to dive independently and safely. It's about being an "independent" diver; being responsible for your own safety and fun, whether diving with just you and a buddy or on a typical group guided dive. And (as a very useful aside) saving money along the way.
As a PADI Advanced Open water diver I had done no independent dives prior to reading this book. Within 3 months I'd done 30 with my dive buddy in my local waters. This helped me to reinforce what I'd learned on courses i.e. bouyancy, navigation, dive conditions, choosing my own gear, and has helped me get more out of guided (dependent) dives also. There's a lot of humour in this book too, making it an easy read, even when it covers serious subjects like sharks and decompression sicknesss. I totally recommend this book.
