    Don't use logic with me. It just confuses me and angers you.

    Come Dive with The Kentucky Piranha Patrol....If you call them Blue Gill you haven't been diving in Kentucky!!!

    .. I have ordered
    The Fundamentals of Better Diving
    That's awesome, I just ordered my copy today as well.
    The entire process intrigues me, and I can't wait to learn more.

    Good Book

    Hi

    I read it recently and use it as a point of reference. Its actually quite a balanced book and is a lot more forgiving than some of the zealots on the boards.

    Kindest Regards

    That is what I found too. The book reads well and doesn't force anything down your throat.

    There is no rocket science in there but it is pretty informative and a good starting point.

    It is a great book. I have read it about 10 times already. As a matter of fact, it is sitting here on my desk at work so I can read it again if I get bored.

    When you get done with that, take a look at The Fundamentals of Technical Diving.
    Even if your not a Tech diver, the Planning and Proceedures Section is a great referance.
    It also gives you a very good grounding of gas mixes.

    I refer back to it at LEAST once a week.
