Glass and Water is the first book on underwater photography for
freedivers. With contributions from expert underwater photographers
this book teaches the skills, knowledge and equipment necessary to
successfully pursue underwater photography without scuba gear.
Rather than seeking to replace books on underwater photography,
Glass and Water focuses on freediving techniques, equipment and
photo opportunities. By carefully choosing or adapting freediving
and photographic equipment some early hurdles can be avoided. Using
appropriate freediving techniques can increase the length of time
available for taking photographs underwater. And by being aware of
the possibilities, frustrations can be avoided and good subjects
sought out.

The UNDERWATER WORLD books are predominately designed as fish
identification books. However, they are a source of wonder to
anyone interested in what lies beneath the water. Whether you are a
diver wanting to take notes on the various wierd and wonderful
wildlife Sydney has to offer or a curious landlubber looking
through the pages in awe and amazment at the different and often
alien looking animals that share our world. Your Guide To The
UNDERWATER WORLD is an accompaniment to a divers log book or a
souvenir of a place visited or soon to visit.
This book - is a continuation of the "Dive Navigator" Atlas. Here
you can find the most interesting and popular dive sites around the
El Gouna city, Red Sea Governorate of Egypt. In the other books in
this series are the best reefs and wrecks for diving available
along the west coast of the Egypt - from Sinai Peninsula to the
border with Sudan. Each book in the series is named by the closest
town on the coastline. The main purpose of our books is to help
sorting out which of the dive sites are more suitable for you.
Having found this out you will be able to design your own program
to get acquainted with the underwater world of the Red Sea.
This is a scuba hand book that contains a comprehensive list of
dive sites in all fifty states, plus selected sites in Canada,
Mexico, and the Caribbean. Information on these sites were
collected on site, by intervies with dive shop owners, dive
instructors, local avid divers, and from information collected from
various websites. The point of this book is to inform you of dive
activities and dive sites around The United States and abroad. You
may not have heard of some of the dive sites, but once you read
this book, you'll most likely have to go visit many of these sites
to see, feel, and experience the local diving for yourself. Some of
the States have just a handful of dive sites availbe to check out
for yourself, while other states have thousands of dive sites. I
couldn't name them all in one book, but this book will definitely
get you started diving in the right direction.
This workbook captures the best current practices in overhead
instruction into one convenient workbook that will last a student
from initial cavern training up through the full cave certification
and that provides a great resource for reviewing important material
by the seasoned cave diver. The workbook has been specially crafted
to match the current NACD Standards & Procedures. This will
enhance the quality of the experience for the student and provide a
common standard for training at all levels. The workbook is upwards
of 150 pages and includes useful outlines, photos and
illustrations, cave maps, discussions and extensive calculations
for gas math.
Scuba divers are dying in caves, on wrecks, and in open water.
These are not explorers pushing the boundaries of the known world,
and they are not scientist seeking to prove new concepts and expand
our understanding of the marine environment. These are ordinary
divers. The man buying a coffee ahead of us in the morning; the
woman we see walking her dog on our street. Brothers, sisters,
aunts and uncles. Someone's wife or husband, mom or dad. Just
regular people who are diving for the fun of it. These deaths are
tragic, life-altering, devastating, a terrible waste. Worst of all,
they are totally unnecessary, a sad mistake and often completely
avoidable. In Staying Alive, Steve Lewis tells us there are very
few diving accidents. Most of the heart-breaking events claiming
the lives of scores of recreational divers are mistakes that result
from established limits being ignored. Lewis revisits the survival
guidelines originally proposed by the legendary Sheck Exley and
shows us in eight straightforward steps how simple it is for sport
and technical divers to avoid becoming a statistic.
THE MISSING ONES is the true account of the disappearance of
Blanche and Russell Warren. The young hard working couple
disappeared in 1929, seemingly without a trace, while drive from
Port Angeles, Washington to their cabin 60 miles away. Eagerly
awaiting their arrival, were two young sons, ages 12 and 14. An
investigation by the Sheriff's Department failed to find the
Warrens. However, clues discovered by investigators led to the
belief that the Warren's had driven into Lake Crescent. The case
was largely forgotten until 1954 when a recently formed dive club
stumbled upon the story. In 2001, they passed the story on to
National Park Ranger divers stationed at Olympic National Park.
This is the story of how the Warrens disappeared, the 1929
investigation, how the dive club found the story and how the Park
Rangers and the dive team finally solved the case.
The Ultimate Diver's Log Book (Mini) is the colourful 50-dive log
book. This is a thoughtfully-designed, book-format scuba diving log
book. It contains boxes for all the essential details a sport diver
might like to record in a clean simple layout. Each dive gets a
two-page spread to record all the dive site information. You can
also log kit details you might want to refer to again. There is
scaled graph paper (time/depth) to record dive profiles (or use
however you wish). Almost a whole page is available for sketches,
notes and stamps. As with the larger Ultimate Diver's Log Book
there is the innovative Visibility Scale - a range of colours from
which to pick the water colour and compare with the visibility.
There is also room at the front for personal details and lined
pages at the back for additional notes. Two colourful pages per
dive. Space for 50 dives. Log depths, times, buddies, gases and
consumption. Visibility Scale. For recreational divers this is the
Ultimate Diver's Log Book (Mini). Slightly shorter and narrower
than it's big brother (Ultimate Diver's Log Book: ISBN
978-1-909455-10-6) but the same great quality.
