Regardless of your reason for wanting to learn to dive, chances are you won't go scuba diving after completing your open-water certification. Weird, right?

prepare
to learn to dive and

.

that the author shares with you. He also explains
ISO international scuba diving training standards

Most books about scuba diving are written by instructors with good content. But Darcy Kieran gives you a 360-degree view from his experience as a scuba diving instructor trainer & owner/manager of dive shops, dive equipment wholesalers, dive boats, scuba diving university programs, and dive resorts.
This handbook won't teach you how to scuba dive - you must get in the water for that! But you will know exactly
what to do
before registering
for a scuba certification course
The author shares typical mistakes that would
cost you time and money
and, in many cases, provide you with such a bad experience that you would want to stop scuba diving.
This book gives you a chance to learn from others' mistakes!
It will help you understand how the dive industry operates so you can navigate it to your advantage.
Do not risk missing out on a lifetime of legendary scuba diving adventures because many dive professionals you'll encounter are not always professional. Instead, learn how to be the leader of your own adventure!
