Nice work! It's just what you said "Scuba dive simplified", covering the basics.
What I'd like to chance is the "rule 3" the ascend rate to 10m/min and perhaps add a chapter about diving with a buddy (a how to be a good buddy), and how dive in bigger group following the DM (as a buddy team):14:

Excellent work Asser!

Downloaded it, plan to read it soon. Very occupied with other events in my life at the moment though.

Just started reading it, looks wonderful so far. Thanks, Asser!

Nice one Assar.

Have read it all once. Thought AL80 cylinders were 11 litres?

18m/min too fast for me! Prefer 10m/min.

Diving inside the recreational depth limit can give you O2 Toxicity if you're on Nitrox 36.

Will read it again soon,

Thank you for your comments.

Of course we all prefer 10m/min or less, but as far as I know, other books and manuals consider 18m/min as the maximum ascent rate.

In the Egyptian Red Sea, we say 12 litres. If you asked for 11 litre cylinder, no one will understand you! AL80 is somewhere between 11 and 12 litres.

The book is not considering Nitrox, so far

Europe too. We have 10L, 12L and 15L tanks that we use. There may be others, but I only dived with those. Is there an imperial equivalent of the 10L tank?
