Scuba Snobs Guide to Dive Et. Review

[cwhite6]

I bought Dennis' book last week from Amazon. With shipping it was $14.94. Being a person new to diving (one dive and start certification next week), I was looking for something else to read besides magazines. I have to say, it was a great read. Didn't take overly long to read it, but worth it. Alot of the tips are things a new person like myself would not learn until doing it wrong and getting fussed at (how to properly flip out of a small boat without smacking someone is one). Some of the tips are common sense items that I am sure folks with a good number of dives do already, but I would not have thought of. The stories where really funny and served well to illustrate a point. I highly recommend getting the book and reading it. You will enjoy it.

If you want the paper back, it's cheapest direct from the publisher. Go to Authorhouse.com and type in the title. Save at least a dollar- maybe more. Best e-book deal is either amazon or barnes and noble

from the November, 2011 issue of Undercurrent

Sport diving is laden with unspoken rules. We've published most of them over the years, but there is no single resource where the new diver, the first time liveaboard diver, or the spouse of a longtime diver can turn to find them. At least, not until now. Dennis Jacobson has been diving for nearly 15 years, his wife Debbie for 10. Hooked on diving, they've traveled extensively, they've learned the rules, and with two pair of keen eyes, they have observed too many of their fellow divers ignoring the social rules that maintain order and composure in our sport.
So they wrote and self-published a small handbook on the rules of diving, The Scuba Snobs Guide to Diving Etiquette, and are kind enough to let us publish a few excerpts. We're only quoting a few paragraphs from this fun and useful book. We suggest you order a couple of copies, and next time you encounter an idiot diver, just slip a copy into his dive bag. It may save your trip.

If you purchase the book through undercurrent.org, their profit is donated to reef preservation and conservation causes. Thanks Undercurrent!

Great read. My gf was psyched that I was reading a diving book that didn't involve someone dying.

Thanks for the comment koozemani- best under 20 word review in history!
