Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
YA-A colorfully illustrated, authoritative, and comprehensive guide to this appealing sport. It covers all aspects of diving from equipment selection and maintenance to the risks and hazards involved. Included are easy-to-read charts and clear explanations about relevant scientific concepts such as buoyancy, gas pressure, and dive tables. Teens will enjoy this book even if they don't go near the water.

From Library Journal
Graver easily achieves his stated goal "to create the most complete, up-to-date text available for entry-level scuba diving and to improve diving safety through education." Study guides in the margins of the text prompt the reader to constantly focus on important points, and the writing provides in-depth elaboration and direction--for the more advanced scuba information seeker--on topics such as equipment, management of physical problems during a dive, the aquatic environment, and general planning in preparation for dives. Appendixes include lists of diver training organizations, the tenets of the "Responsible Diver Code," and equipment inventory. The book serves dual roles as student text and basic introduction. Recommended, especially if your collection is limited to a single title in this subject area.
