Hold your breath! It’s time to dive into the fascinating world of deep diving! Divers take their lives into their hands when they plunge into the dark ocean depths to perform their dangerous work duties. In this book, readers will learn all about the special training divers must go through to work in this field. They’ll find out what kind of research and tasks divers complete underwater, and how they stay safe while they’re doing it! Filled with eye-catching photographs and dynamic features, this book aligns with curriculum standards and appeals to STEM enthusiasts.
One of a series of six books that take the sensationalism away from risky careers, but present the basic facts about them. This one does seem to go on and on with similar results for a few pages, as all aspects of the 'how' of diving are presented, but we soon get on to different reasons to dive as a job, whether it be police searcher, underwater welder for the oil industry, PADI instructor or Hollywood safety guy. Certainly a niche title, it will only give a rounded appreciation of the job, with a lot of information about the safety concerns involved.
So I swim really well but diving always looked like it could be scary. I'm glad I know so much more about it right now, and this book gives some simple but complete descriptions of the basics around how it works. The other thing I liked is that it talked about all the different jobs where people need to know how to dive. Diving can be just for fun, but it's necessary for many jobs and people who want to do different kinds of research. The photos are great too.
