Steve,
Just want to say I am a third of the way through it and it is awesome. Very thought provoking. Should be required reading.

Ditto that as well.
I do have a question. I have been asked to mentor a diver (100 dives, OW, no AOW or Rescue) and am concerned that they admit that most of their dives are "trust me" to some level or another. I have already told them they need to finish up AOW and get Rescue / Stress and Rescue trained. Not for the cards, but for the personal risk assessment that Rescue gives. I don't really care about the AOW, but usually it is needed to take Rescue. So my question: If I can get them to read only one book, should it be "Six Skills" or "Staying Alive"? I haven't finished my kindle copy of Staying Alive yet, but so far I'm leaning toward that one because of the tendency to dive "trust me" by this person.

Steve, care to expand on what you didn't like about the translation?
My new book is now available via my CreateSpace eStore: https://www.createspace.com/4576566
should be on Amazon in the next few days... Expected on Kindle around the same time.
Jim, Thanks for the above. I do own and have already recommended both the "Six Skills" and the SDI Solo Diver manual. I'm currently reading the Kindle version of "Staying Alive". IMHO, after only completing 1/2 the latest book, is that "Staying Alive" should be read first to establish the proper mindset for the other books.
I just finished the "Six Skills" and bought Your new book, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Not many people can do as good a job as you have translating their knowledge to something succinct and digestible for us common diver folk.
I'm going to make a recommendation based on not only having read The Six Skills and reading Staying Alive now, but also as a student of Steve's. Buy both. The Six Skills gives a great deal of practical advice and does go into the area of proper mindset, but Staying Alive is more about the latter. If you have someone doing trust me dives they need the latter IMO. I would also advise them to get a copy of another book that Steve has great deal to do with and that is The SDI Solo Diving Manual. That one should be in every new divers library right after their OW class.
