      Great Book

      This really break downs the basics of snorkling part by part, than goes into beginer diver and on. It is full of info that are little hints only experince snorkler or diver can give you. I highly recommend this book to every beginer out there. I have read couple other topic books from " the dummies" sets. This one is just as good or even better than your regular diving instruction. Good luck, and enjoy.

      Dummn, Dummn

      Not the best "For Dummies" book i ever read. This book does not compare with the other books in the "Dummies" Series. There is almost no useful instruction in the book. I expected info on using the dive tables that is essential even for a beginners.

      This book was not too bad as a overview of the sport, however it did not go into any great detail about specifics on anything. I liked this book and it has some good into.
