Book Description
This edition to the successful Ragged Mountain Press Woman's Guides will introduce the rapidly-growing sport of scuba diving, the fastest growing segment of which is women. Sport diving, or scuba (an acronym for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus), is more than a summer activity; for many people. It is a prime motivator for traveling to exotic destinations. Diving appeals to all ages and levels of fitness, and its allure has much to do with its social aspect: one always dives with a buddy, with groups of other divers, and at least in the beginning stages, accompanied by a dive instructor or divemaster. Claire Walter, a Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI)-certified advanced diver, addresses women's issues in everything from getting started and diving basics to advanced diving. As with other titles in the series, she weaves women's voices into the narrative to provide a range of assuring experiences. Among topics covered are overcoming one's fears, choosing the right instructor, equipment, your first dive, and expanding your horizons.
