Hi everyone,
Spent two days with a DIR instructor, and Fundies is in the future but probably a year away. In the meantime, would like to have a reference both to go over things learned in those two days (particularly, gas management and tank factors and the like could benefit from some relaxed time with a blank piece of paper and a book) and to make sure new gear is going to work for future needs, without bugging our poor instructor too much. I understand from other threads that Jablonski's Fundamentals of Better Diving is a decade out-of-date.
There seem to be a few options at the GUE website:
Beginning With the End in Mind - the Fundamentals of Recreational Diving, By Jesper Berglund
Beyond the Daylight Zone: The Fundamentals of Cave Diving, By Jablonski
Getting Clear on the Basics: The Fundamentals of Technical Diving, By Jablonski
Dress for Success, By Dan MacKay
Or should I just get Fundamentals of Better Diving?
Thanks!
