Download or read book The Northwest Dive Guide written by Mike Hughes and published by Harbour Publishing Company. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cold water diving is more gear-intensive than warm water diving, but the diversity of marine life and panoramic beauty of the world below the water line are a delight to explore. Try the shallow waters of BC's Hornby Island for a cold water shark dive where spiny dogfish zip around like short fused rockets and you have a good chance of spotting a blunt nosed six-gill shark. Or visit Sund Rock in Washington State, a marine protected area sheltering wolf eels, sea whip beds, various shrimps and crabs and the occasional wandering giant Pacific octopus. When it comes to quality and quantity of wrecks to explore, the Northwest is a diver's playground with warships, cargo ships, and wooden ships dating back to the 1800s. Diving is not limited to coastal areas either, with Montana and Idaho offering opportunities for freshwater adventures just watch out for the 30 to 40-foot Mackinaw Ness Monster! In The Northwest Dive Guide, master scuba dive instructor and Northwest diving tour guide Mike Hughes shares over three hundred dive sites in BC, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, including drift dives, wall dives, freshwater dives and wrecks festooned in plumrose anemones and patrolled by huge rockfish. With training tips and gear appropriate to cold water diving, indispensable information on local dive operators and shops, and useful dry land advice such as where to go for a meal after the dive plus nearby attractions for non diving travelling companions The Northwest Dive Guide is sure to enhance the enjoyment and safety of recreational divers in the Northwest, whether they've logged hundreds of hours underwater, or they're just getting started.

Book excerpt: This is a scuba hand book that contains a comprehensive list of dive sites in all fifty states, plus selected sites in Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Information on these sites were collected on site, by intervies with dive shop owners, dive instructors, local avid divers, and from information collected from various websites. The point of this book is to inform you of dive activities and dive sites around The United States and abroad. You may not have heard of some of the dive sites, but once you read this book, you'll most likely have to go visit many of these sites to see, feel, and experience the local diving for yourself. Some of the States have just a handful of dive sites availbe to check out for yourself, while other states have thousands of dive sites.

Download or read book Scuba written by James A. Lapenta and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-02-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SCUBA is a fun, relaxing, educational, interesting, and -- if approached properly -- safe activity, it is nonetheless a sport that has risks. SCUBA diving is in fact an extreme sport that can injure or even kill very quickly, and in some very nasty ways. What we are doing is entering an alien environment that is normally hostile to human life. We cannot breathe in water without some kind of mechanical assistance. These are facts and the details should be covered in every Open Water (OW) class. All too often in today's society, however, people do not want to take the time to properly prepare and get the education to safely take on new tasks. Some agencies appear to have responded to this by developing training programs that turn out high numbers of certified divers in shorter time frames, necessitating the reduction of time spent on what I consider to be some necessary basic skills. While this has resulted in great numbers of new divers entering the water, it has not resulted in many of those divers staying in the water. New divers are often given just enough training to enable them to dive in the most benign conditions under close supervision. Even then, there are still those who find out their initial training was just not adequate. It is at this point that they either make the decision to get more training or they leave the sport. The latter happens all too often. The former, when it does happen, does not always occur for the right reasons. Students should return to training to expand their diving and learn new skills; they should not have to return for new training just to be able to enjoy the sport safely. To require students to come back for basic information is something I find very troubling, and in some cases, has actually cost divers their lives. A lack of rescue instruction has resulted in a number of diver deaths when buddies did not know how to drop weights, support a diver at the surface, or even stay in contact with their buddy. This is another area frequently talked about, but all too often not actually put into practice. The concept of always diving with a buddy and just what that means in the "real world" is often given too little attention. Unfortunately, it is impossible to foresee every conceivable situation that can arise, but there are many basic issues that can be covered. The following chapters will hopefully address much of what is being overlooked or delayed in many programs as they exist today. It is my hope that this information also finds its way into the hands of those who have not yet begun the training process. I have included a chapter on how to select an instructor based on the quality of instruction and the content of the course. In some cases, these classes may cost more than the less comprehensive courses also available, but usually they do not. In fact, when you consider the additional skills and education gained from a more comprehensive course, you will find that you have received much more value for each dollar spent. In addition, you gain priceless benefits in the form of greater confidence, enjoyment, skills, and -- most importantly -- safety. Enjoy and dive safe

Download or read book To Kill a Diver written by Mike Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clues and evidence discovered at an underwater park in the Puget Sound of Washington State lead divers and police officials to the conclusion that the accidental death of a diver was no accident at all. While the murder may be fictional, Bruce Higgins Underwater Trails in Edmonds, WA is the largest volunteer diver constructed and maintained underwater park on the west coast. The backgrounds on the local sea creatures will bring new divers up to speed quickly on cold water species, and hopefully the information will be found to be interesting to seasoned divers. Hopefully, this book is best read between dives, while crossing on a ferry, while on a live aboard vessel, before visiting the Puget Sound, or just when you feel like diving, but can't get the time off from the real world.
