A manual for diving? If that is what you are wanting then how about the book that you used when you were getting certified. If this isn't what you are wanting then please be more specific.

yeah srry.. i mean a site which can tell me more about diving...
 
Are you certified for scuab diving, or just wanting to know more about it? If you are wanting to learn to dive then a scuba diving certification agency will have manuals and such for you when you attend class.
 
For a paper manual, I'd recommend the first two chapters of PADI's "Encyclopedia of Recreational Diving" ... It actually has useful info (very unlike thier "GoDive" book.)

I fail to understand why it's not required reading for thier OW cert.
 
You might want to check out the NOAA dive manual. It's on the expensive side however it has loads of information.
 
Thomaz:
is there no site or something with the same information?

And can you tell me some basic things of scuba diving..?


what are you wanting to know.

I can tell you that is very dangerous to learn to scuba dive by just reading a book and asking for advice. If you are wanting to learn to dive, do it the right way, and get the training from an instructor. You are 14 years old, so you are old enough by most of the certification agencies.
 
You aren't going to find much in the line of "how to dive" online. Years ago you would find all that on the side of the tank. Now it is a big liability so you probably won't find much online.
If you have a dive shop near you go and talk to them there should be plenty of reading that they can give you. I know you can buy a lot of books, like what you would use for a certification class, online.
If you are wanting to learn to dive and think that you can do it on your own with just a book, DON'T DO IT. This is more than just a strap it on and go sport.
 
Im just looking for some information etc.. and im not going to dive WITHOUT certificate! I have a diving shop nearby..and is scuba diving different from normal diving? can someone tell me..? (im a real newb at diving im collecting as much as information as possible and il will then take class...
