The Scuba Diving Handbook: A Complete Guide to Salt and Fresh Water Diving

Tells how to get certified, discusses equipment, diving theory, dive tables, marine life, emergency procedures, and underwater photography, and describes popular diving places

YA-- An excellent introduction that addresses the major aspects of the sport in a clear, readable fashion. The chapters are self-contained, but follow a logical sequence. One of the best features is that the book tells newcomers where they can find instruction and equipment and gives some idea of the cost involved. The photographs, particularly those taken underwater, are superb.
