I am currently studying for my DM and am curious as to whether everybody read the "Encyclopedia of Diving" 'page to page' or what. Don't get me wrong some parts of it I find fascinating and can't put down, while other parts seem rather mundane. Would be interested in what others have to say? I guess my question is: Is it necessary to read it 'page to page' and 'word for word' and yes, I have read the sticky and am concentrating on some of the more important chapters.
