PADI Open Water Diver (teaxtbook) Manual (c) 2010 ISB 978-1-878663-16-9 is the most current edition. It replaced the (c) 1996 Go Dive and (c) 1990 Black windowpane cover editions. All are paperback and include a plastic RDP Dive Tables card. They may come in crewpacks including dive logbook, eRDP, Video, DVD, or CD multimedia. Each covers safety and necessary diving skills for beginning students. This is a text and not DIY. Product is useful as backup but not current for certification training. RDP is unchanged.
I am a PADI instructor and encourage all divers to get current manuals. Standards change on a regular basis as new information is learned and as procedures and equipment improve. While the manuals are only reprinted with changes from time to time, having the most current version is better than older, out of date information. Your instructor can also provide you training updates he or she receives from the certification agency you chose. Finally for those who have been out of the water for a while, for safetys sake, do a refresher in the pool with an instructor before doing open water dives. You'll enjoy your subsequent dives more, you'll be more relaxed and you'll have more fun. All the best, enjoy your dives, Pete Keane PADI OWSI 185950 ebay ID: DiveTrainers
Cant put the book down, as every page has something new to explain in a colourful and hands on way. Makes the art of scuba diving look so simple and adventurous. No doubt that it actually is! But for someone who has even the slightest fear of this marvelous sport, its the ideal companian, as it tucks those fears away and turns it into pure exitement!
I liked this book basically because I needed it to attend a scuba diving course for certification. This book was required along with a companion DVD to help you do your classroom sessions and testing. The book was used but in perfect condition. I also paid about 1/2 price for it compaired to if I bought it retailed.
great info....not boring like the newer versions. This book has a more in depth amount of information as PADI now allows for 10 year olds to dive and these newer books a written for a 10 year old. Big PICTURES and LITTLE WORDS...
