How to Scuba Dive like a Professional
All too often the biggest casualty of the 'churn and burn' discount dive training sector is the development of proper buoyancy control. John Kean’s latest book brings the curtains down on this industry-damaging practice and helps aspiring new scuba divers achieve the greatness they deserve underwater. It also shatters some of the many misconceptions that are frequently attached to the sport of scuba diving.
The Great Buoyancy Scam is a lively, entertaining and highly informative book taking readers deep behind the scenes of modern day scuba diving instruction. It provides scuba divers, new and old, with an invaluable resource before signing up for a dive training course.
Concentrating largely on the new student diver, John speaks in a clear, friendly and no-nonsense language bridging the gap between glossy, corporate marketing and the big blue sea. This is not a step-by-step manual but covers a range of diving subjects in an easy-to-follow way bringing to life many of the frequently misunderstood learning areas such as decompression theory and the bends. The Great Buoyancy Scam is a rare and valuable chance to equip and prepare yourself way ahead of your diving experience.
