Complete Diving Manual

International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2005

Excellent!
This book is well written and illustrated, and goes deeper into the theories and explanations than the other dive books I've collected. It's obvious that the author is a balanced, experienced diver who can also teach and write like a pro. If you're interested in ...

Top Dive Sites of the World
Jack Jackson

New Holland Publishers Ltd, 2007

Great Photos, but otherwise very disappointing.
