Important Information for Scuba Divers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dangerous Marine Creatures (Paperback)
This book is the greatest, it covers everything you could imagine in the ocean that can cause you harm or discomfort. I always take it along on all my dive trips, and it has really come in handy, not just for me, but for my diving companions also. We have used the information regarding jellyfish stings, fire coral and stinging fire weed, just to name a few. I would recommmend this book to all divers, as my physician recommended it to me!
