After nearly 3 years and 500 or so copies sold/distributed in print, Pdf, and CD it was time to do something with this. Now with readers in 20 countries on six continents it was time to get a little more exposure
Thanks to tech_diver on here for assistance in formatting and designing the new cover as well as invaluable advice on getting this going.
The new format is more portable being 6x9 in print, there is an extra chapter on basic gear maintenance, and space for notes at the end of each chapter. It is in proofing now and will be available on Amazon. Kindle version is going to follow very soon after. Also looking at other e reader formats.
There have been a number of SB members who have told me they benefitted from this work and people from other message boards and forums I belong to that said it saved them money, time, and headaches. What new members to SB, and new/not so new divers in general, will find in this is much of that information you may not have gotten in your classes that, in my opinion, you really should have.
As soon as it becomes available I will let you know here.
I will also be getting some copies to have with me at shows and for those who want a signed copy. How that is going to work is still in the planning stages and will be a little more than buying direct from amazon as I will have to pay to have them shipped to me then ship them to you.
Cover price is going to be around the same as the 1st edition which was selling for 20.00. Ebook price has not been decided yet but see it being about the same as the Pdf I email. Nice thing is that with amazon and ebook is that you will not have to wait for me to answer your emails to purchase it.
