I took another sample from my bookshelves this week to talk about including books on cave diving, submarine disasters, marine life and much more. Click the image below for the Facebook Live video and beneath that I’ll include links to the books that are available on Amazon and some other relevant links. You can also watch my previous Diving and Underwater Photography Book Chat.
There are lots of different versions of the BSAC Sport Diving manual available along with the newer Diving Manual. Here are links to what I think are the version I have according to the description and picture , then the newest Diving Manual and what I think was a version in-between from 1998.
