What's the book about?
Well there are several reviews on my site (link in my signature) and they will give you an idea. However, by way of different explanation: It seems that lots of the folks who are interested in more advanced diving (technical or sport) have a slightly off-focus view of the skills that will help keep them safe. The average student for a technical program, comes into the experience with the wrong mindset and in many cases, they haven't carried over the smarts they use day-to-day in their work-life to their recreation. I've attempted to help sort that out based on the experiences learned from teaching technical dive programs since the early 1990s and recreational program before that. Additionally, the book covers three things I feel are important: What to expect from a dive course (and what the instructor expects from her student); A different way to think about and plan ascents (decompression... especially contingency deco); and risk identification, assessment and management.
Plus each chapter begins with a really cool quote!
