Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance is the motto of author Stephen Arrington, former Chief Diver for the Cousteau Society. A book designed to avert the unpleasant surprises and give the expedition supervisors confidence that nothing significant has been overlooked which might adversely impact the expedition or diving operation. Great tips for conducting filming, research, and complex dive operations in remote or dangerous waters.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Every successful expedition demands a certain degree of humility - after all, an operation that took several months and many thousands of dollars to prepare can be doomed by the lack of a single spare 0-ring. Steve knows this from experience, and gets down into often unglamourous, but always essential nitty-gritty details on which all the glory depends. He's not afraid to editorialize on his favorite product brands or to overstate the obvious - production values, money, even lives may depend on it. The book is built for quick and easy reference, even in the field. After reading this book, even the novice would be well prepared to meet the challenge of expedition. --Jean-Michel Cousteau
