information such as diving routes, landmarks, points of interest

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.

In Becoming a Scuba Diver, Conrad Blickenstorfer invites you to
accompany him on the journey through his first 250 dives. Starting
with the first breath underwater, to learning scuba gear, and the
initial certification dives, Blickenstorfer describes what it means
becoming a diver. After initial doubts and frustrations, there are
the first dives at Lake Tahoe, then advanced classes and dives in
Florida's sinks, caverns and rivers, and finally the magical first
ocean dives in Roatan. From there it's on to drift diving in
Cozumel, the first liveaboard experience in the Caribbean, the
first thrilling encounters with sharks, diving wrecks and kelp,
playing with seals, diving with the majestic giant mantas of
Socorro, and swimming with whale sharks off Isla Mujeres and in the
Sea of Cortez, Mexico. Between diving experiences and on his way to
his first 250 dives, the author contemplates scuba-related topics:
altitude diving, dive computers, nitrox, cave diving, rebreathers,
nitrogen narcosis, Hollywood's portrayal of scuba, Cousteau's
legacy, humorous encounters, and self-analyis as a diver.

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.
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.

sorting out which of the dive sites are more suitable for you.
