I've been going through my stuff, and found some PADI training material I won't need anymore. I thought others may be in the same situation, and we could combine "resources" in a DNY Dive Library, where DNYers can borrow material for training, making training more accessible / less expensive.
I have:
- PADI Open Water manual
- PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy DVD
- PADI Enriched Air Diving manual and DVD
- PADI Deep Diving manual and DVD
Currently on loan:
- PADI Drysuit Diving manual and DVD
Anyone else ...?

(if Sam agrees I will bring it all to NYC in December for easier member access)

Excellent idea, Henrik. Bring them to NYC in December and I'll help you loan it out to members. We can even expand it to include any dive related books if members are interested in loaning out their books.
RULES for Posting in this thread
1). If you have a manual or book to loan out
2). If you see a manual or book posted in this thread that you want to borrow.
3). Once that manual has been posted in here, the loaner and loanee should PM each other to discuss how long the manual or book will be on loan, and how to pick up or drop off the manual or book to each other.
PLEASE, refrain from idle chat in here, we have a chat thread for that and chats will be moved there. Let's keep this thread free from off-topic chats and on-topic of what manuals or books are available to loan out.
Appreciate everyone's cooperation in keeping the CHATS off this thread.
You should also consider opening this up to equipment overhaul and repair manuals. Also posting links to online manuals that already exist. Here is a link to the US Navy Diving Manual.
Here are a few other sites for dive manuals that I have found useful. I can also email a PFD copy of the US Navy Diving Manual to anyone who would like one.
I have the following PADI and SEI Recreational Materials available to loan
PADI Rescue Manual & DVD (rev 12/07 version 3.04)
PADI Adventures in Diving Manual (rev 10/07 version 2.08)
PADI Open Water Diver Manual (rev 12/06 version 2.08)
PADI Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving (rev 10/08 version 3.03)
PADI Deep Diver Manual (rev 06/07 version 2.0)
PADI Enriched Air Diving Manual (rev 05/07 version 3.02)
SEI Diver Rescue and Accident Management (Rescue)
Conditions: As I am only at Dutch once or twice a year I can ship it to you on me if you'll ship it back to me on your dime. Feel free to use them as long as you want, I just ask that you either pass it on to someone else to use or send the manuals back to me within a reasonable time frame (few months, dive season, etc).
Linking a similar thread started in DNY two years ago with similar helpful links. Some of the links posted in that thread is similar to those being posted in here. I'm going to lock and unsticky the other thread rather than having two similar threads running.
