Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving

by Drew Richardson, Alex Brylske

While the Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving is a very informative book, it is not the "heavy" reading that one might expect from a PADI manual. The terminoligy and concepts covered in this book nicely suppliment what one learns throughout the recreational diving classes -- novice open water dives, advanced techniques, underwater navigation, and rescue techniques. I recommend this for divers who have gone through open water and advanced classes (and even Rescue), feeling that they did not get all they could out of the classes and textbook. This book is a must for those wishing to seek a professional dive rating (divemaster and higher), or pursue technical dive certifications.

I got this as part of my Divemaster kit and decided to be a good student and read it cover to cover. 🙄 Well... It's really more of a reference book and not something to read all the way through. I finally did it, though! And I learned a lot!

Es una gran fuente de información valiosa del mundo subacuático. Obviamente tendré que volver a releer una y otra vez las distintas secciones para tener frescos los conocimientos, pero me ha sido muy útil leer la enciclopedia completa.

A must read if you are a diver.
