5.0 out of 5 stars "Dive Like A Pro" was a nice dive checklist for me., August 1, 2000

By A Customer

I found "Dive Like A Pro" to be a very handy review. I haven't been diving in a while, and it was a great source for condensed common-sense tips and reminders. I found the format very user-friendly, and the content very readable. Like all common sense advice, you could figure much of this out on your own, but why learn it the hard (and dangerous)way when you can have it spoon fed to you by an expert? I liked it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Companion Text for the Beginner., April 3, 2005

By	Gary W. Smith "EastCoastDiver" (Hagerstown, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This makes a fine edition to a beginning diver's text. I enjoy reading Rob's articles in "Dive Training Magazine" and this text is a good representation of his easy to follow tips. I probably wouldn't have purchased the text for myself, as this copy was a gift, but I did find it informative. Informative in the respect, that it gave me new ways of explaining tips of the trade to student divers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dive Like a Pro, March 31, 2000

By	David Swain (Rhode Island) - See all my reviews

So much information in a consise easy to read format, it should be a reference book for all divers and instructors! Mr. Rossier has taken the multitudes of articles he's written for Dive Training magazine, coupled them with the many years of experience gained from diving all over the world with a list of whos who in diving and turned this info into a easy to read and understand handbook for budding aquanauts and seasoned, all to wet veterans.
