Story
This is not your standard how-to manual. It is very different. The purpose of Scuba Fundamental is not to teach you how to dive. A dive instructor will do that. But this book will make the learning process much easier. It will help you make the right choices and avoid the pitfalls that await new and uninformed divers coming into the sport. It will also set you well on the road to becoming a capable and competent lifelong diver.

Story
Scuba Exceptional may be the fifth in Simon Pridmore’s Scuba series, but it is the true follow up to the first book in the series, Scuba Confidential. It reflects the same philosophy of safe diving through the acquisition of knowledge and skills. The themes are new, there are some wonderful and extremely useful new cautionary tales, and the focus this time is more on issues that face experienced divers. For example, there is more technical diving content, but, as usual, Simon covers complex issues in his usual clear and easy-to-listen-to style.

The best book about diving by far
Being an instructor and a diver for more than 15 years I just loved this book,
It is very well structured and easy to read (listen)
I lost count of the times I told to myself, "I'd wish had known that before"
The book is a must for beginners and experienced divers, honestly , listen to all the advices gives might help you to save a lot of money during your diving, but better, it will save your life eventually.
I liked the printed edition but I give it a try on the audiobook.....Craig's narration put a lot of emotion making stop doing anything else and keep listening.
