This is lavishly illustrated book that I suspect will appeal more to those who are thinking about where to start diving. It is really a coffee-table book. More serious divers are more likely to pick up a copy of the "Diver Travel Guide". The "Diver Travel Guide" is updated annually or at least very regularly. I'm fairly sure that I picked up a complimentary copy with "Diver" magazine but it can certainly be bought separately.
The "Diver Travel Guide" provides a concise description of each destination followed by a fact file which summarises the relative cost; water temperature and an indication of what thickness wetsuit to wear; visa requirements and inoculations. To be fair, similar information (though less detailed and nothing ... Read More: >>More Details |

The book is very well produced and is very pleasing. The information regarding resorts is comprehensive and the photography is excellent. Personally I would have preferred a little more space devoted to photographs of the sealife of each region beacuse that is what appealed to me the most. The photographs which are provided are of a very high standard and make me wish I could dive more often.

Silent World, The (National Geographic adventure classics)by: Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Frederic Dumas 2004-06 Best Selling > Books > Scuba Diving |

This is a wonderful book. Cousteau knows how to tell fascinating dive stories (some involving near-death moments) and keep you informed as well. The photos in the hardback edition are mostly (but not all) black and white, but stunning, especially the photo of a shark's maw one foot away from Cousteau's camera! The courage of the man takes the breath away and makes a lot of today's expert divers seem namby-pamby. No wetsuits for Jacques, he and Didi Dumas swam around in very brief swimtrunks which were no doubt regarded as sexy and trendy in the 1950s. Both of them do lots of things in the sea which would now be regarded as politically incorrect, so a really fun read.

This book is magic. I read it a few years ago and still sneak a peak at it before I head off on holiday to get me revved up for diving. A wonderful book. Not only does this book describe diving from a personal perspective and explain how and why the author has become so bewitched by it but it also has some wonderful historical information and diving anecdotes that really do provide the book with the ability to convey that 'X Factor' that provides diving with some much of it's magic and draw. Highly recommended.

Being slightly new to diving I agonised over whether to buy this book or not for a while. In the end I did and wish I'd done so sooner. I keep picking it up and turning to pages at random. The pictures and the words are hypnotising.

Diving the World (Footprint Activity Guide)by: Beth Tierney, Shaun Tierney April 28, 2006 Best Selling > Books > Scuba Diving |

Described as an Activity Guide book, Diving the World is much more than that. Yes, the facts are there; yes, all the information you could possibly want is there and, yes, its opened my eyes to diving destinations which I never ever knew existed. But here's the bonus ..... it's written with real style, the photographs are fabulous, the attention to detail is meticulous and its a joy to read. We're divers but so many of our non-diving friends are compelled to pick it up and browse through the pages that its now become part of the 'coffee table' reading. Its a great gift for divers and non divers alike.

"Diver Down" certainly provides stories that have the potential to scare the wits out of non-diving friends in their retelling. However, these accounts would not look out of place in "The Darwin Awards". After all, would you drop anchor and then go for a dive in unfamiliar waters without surface cover (i.e. with no crew left aboard) - and with a squall brewing? What is sad is that poor judgement by one person can kill or seriously injure buddies or rescuers. I guess the moral here is to look after 'number one' - in order to avert a daft accident or be in a position to offer assistance to those in difficulty.
"Diver Down" tends to describe `sensational' accidents that carry few lessons for the average diver. Most of the accidents described are in overhead ... Read More: >>More Details |

I first learned about Dave Shaw and his tragic accident while researching rebreathers. A short burst of surfing later and I was reading 'Raising the Dead', an article by Tim Zimmerman for 'Outside' magazine. Before I knew it, I was viewing Dave Shaw's head cam footage, recovered after the ill-fated dive. I was almost in tears. 270 metres underwater, he might as well have been walking on the Moon. I would defy anyone not to be moved by his story.
I bought this book despite being sceptical that it would add much to what I already knew or have the same impact as my original encounter with the story. Being longer than the Zimmerman article, Finch has taken the opportunity to flesh out the personalities and roles of the participants - yet it remains a gripping, ... Read More: >>More Details |
