DESCRIPTION:
Scuba Professional is the natural successor to Simon Pridmore's first book, Scuba Confidential - An Insider's Guide to Becoming a Better Diver. Serious divers who take more than a passing interest in their hobby and want to know what goes on behind the scenes will be fascinated by the topics addressed and the insights offered.From a dive safety point of view, Simon looks at the bigger picture and, in a series of chapters on avoiding and handling accidents, sets out a framework for developing the safety culture within our sport. He also examines the present state of key aspects of the dive industry and speculates as to the future.. Whereas Scuba Confidential focused on how to scuba dive, Scuba Professional looks at how diving is taught and how dive operations are conducted.Scuba Professional

Spot on! allldebaran A very thoughtful read for diving professionals and recreational divers. All three books by Mr. Pridmore provide a faithful inside view of diving as leisure, science and business. Wonderfully written in a very easy, humorous and accessible prose but without being shallow in the l. Hector Eduardo Moreira said Excellent book. Not only a book that is a. Excellent book. Not only a book that is a must for every recreational dive professional, but also a book to be constantly consulted for those working in this wonderful activity.. it's good to know one's observations are not unusual What most of us exposed to the "professional" world of big-box store scuba learned from personal experience. Still, it's good to know one's observations are not unusual. Thanks for the great read and helping to encourage everyone thinking of entering this world to weigh imortant
