"Claire Walter eloquently provides answers to hundreds of questions
about what it takes to venture into the waters of the world. Half
of all birds who fly are female, as are half of the fish, dolphins,
and whales who swim. Why not half of the humans who dive? Both men
and women will find Walter's book entertaining, instructive,
provocative, and a sure source of inspiration to plunge into the
lake, river, or ocean of their dreams."--Dr. Sylvia Earle,
Explorer-in-Residence, National Geographic Society
"Claire Walter's "Scuba Diving: A Woman's Guide makes this
wonderful sport accessible to anyone who has looked at the mounds
of dive equipment and said, 'No way I can do that.' While preparing
women to enjoy the basic scuba experience, this book will also
stimulate its readers to explore the far-flung reaches of this
planet's last great wilderness."--Maurine Shimlock, Secret Sea
