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.

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.

This book contains a selection of workouts from an experienced master swimmer. It is intended for those who want to keep in shape and possibly compete in USMS Nationals like its author. If you are over 40, fit and disciplined, yet have no more than two hours a day to spare, often less, sometimes every other day, and if you believe yourself to be sufficiently fit and disciplined to improve and compete, the book is for you. This book contains basic advice on workout planning, cycling, as well as basics of nutrition, stretching and dry exercise routines. Its main purpose, however, was to collecti swimming workouts and sort them out into macrocycle periods, in order to make your pool time more productive and enjoyable. These routines are intentionally printed in larger letters, one per page, so that you can copy them and take them with you to the pool. Sarah P. Condor-Fisher is a former Olympic swimmer, coach, personal trainer and nutritional analyst.

This book was inspired by swimmers I have met over the years who train in small groups or on their own repeating the same boring sets over and over.

Each of the 365 sets has four ability levels identified as gold, silver, bronze, and novice to suite every swimmers needs. The sets are grouped by length based on time and sorted by type of training.
