read this and you'll be excited to dive.

I was a little skittish about driving. After listening to this excellent writer going to great detail about all the aspects of driving a beginner needs to know, I'm so excited I can't wait!

Great Listen!

Very interesting listen filled with great stories and facts. The narrator does a good job . I highly recommend.

I'm a commercial diver and found useful tips

Fantastic! Entertaining, useful and educational. The narration was excellent as well. I was surprised to find out how similar recreational diving has become to commercial diving. The author gives a lot of updated information about mixed gas driving and rebreather technology. He also told Santa diver of the kids, good locations and doesn't depth about just about every category of equipment. I will be listening to this again and again.

very informative

loved it. it may be difficult for non-divers to finish but for divers the information is invaluable. well thought out and entertaining. a must read or listen I guess in this case for any diver. beginner to advanced. as a dive instructor I have taken away lots of things to incorporate in my classes that I never thought about. I wish I could have every one of my students read or listen before beginning class. Maybe I'll find a way to make that happen. it would make my job so much easier. I also believe it would make better divers out of my students.

Scuba Necessities

Awesome! Must have for any scuba diver whether you are just starting out or a pro.
