Thank you t-mac, and you too DevonDiver, I'm a month away from my first OW class and want to start learning now :) I'm definitely checking these titles out!


Haven't seen much in terms of instructional, but diving-wise there are a number of good books on NE wreck/Andrea Doria divers including Shadow Divers and Peter Hunt's book (Setting the Hook). Raising the Dead is also excellent. The only kind of instructional one I've read (also highly recommended) is Michael Ainge's Diver Down. There are overtly instructional ones but they seem very basic and/or haven't been favorably reviewed so I've taken a pass. Happy reading and safe diving!
 
A real basic one I have on my Kindle is "Getting Started in Scuba" by David Greer and really fun read about a couple who get OW certified and plan all of their vacations around diving is called "Manta Rays and Margaritas: Tropical Travels to Dive the Oceans" by Karen Begelfer
 
I've been looking for some new reading material and I'm wondering if there is any good instructional reading material in Kindle format?
I'm reading Submerged​ by Lenihan and love it. It covers wreck diving, cave diving, and basic changes in diving between the 70s and early 00s.
 
I asked a somewhat similar question a year ago after I'd read Diver Down (accounts of several real-world SCUBA accidents) and Deep Descent (diving the sunken ocean liner Andrea Doria). I absolutely loved both, though Diver Down is a good bit more applicable to the type of rec diving that many of us do.


Here is my post from last year. There are several books suggested by others as well.
