Scuba Scoop is a "user friendly" compendium of answers to the more than 115 most frequently asked questions by novice divers regarding the recreational sport of scuba diving. Gary Shumway's straightforward text is enhanced with more than 120 black and white images related to diving, a list of certifying agencies, certification costs, open water equipment check lists, and the best places for the beginner to dive world wide. A survey of 499 U.S. dive shops, organized by state is also provided as are a reference section of scuba diving periodicals, a section on diving etiquette, a short history of scuba diving, an extensive glossary of terms, and an index. Scuba Scoop is not an instruction manual on the sport, but rather a handy, reliable, comprehensive reference for questions on and about the sport of scuba diving, especially designed for the newcomer to one of the most fun forms of athletic recreation and exploration available today.

This book answers a lot of questions for those comtemplating taking a scuba course and reminds experienced divers of a lot of things they have forgotten. Authors humor makes book more entertaining and easier to read.
