PADI Open Water Diver Manual with Table Paperback – January 1, 2015

This is the bible for people getting ready for SCUBA school! It is one of only two approved manuals for PADI certification study. Well written and informative, this will set you on the right course for learning how to dive safely and the various things you need to learn in order to gain certification.Highly recommended to those with an interest in SCUBA diving.

I am presently working on my scuba certification and tried the eLearning portion of the class without this book. I am an old fashioned learner - I need a book to read or refer back to. This book is perfect! It completely matches the eLearning class to a tee. I read the chapters/sections, take each quiz (hiding the answers) and then go on line and take the final chapter assessments. If you have any issues with the eLearning portion of scuba certification, I would highly recommend this book. This book also offers something I can refer back to even after completing my certification.

I was certified as an Open Water Diver in the 1990's. I got sick in early 2000 and haven't gone diving all this time. I'm all better now and checked with my doctor and he said I can Dive again. I bought the book and DVD to study so when I go to ST Maartin in january I can renew my certification of, if I need to, recertify. The book seems a lot more flashy than the book I remember in the '90's. It's easy to read, has a lot of highlights and clearly marks the thinks that are very important. I still have the book I got in St Maartin in the '90's (with my handwritten notes in it) and the new book highlights a lot of the places where I underlined and it has notes in a lot of places where I wrote my own notes while studying in my hotel room. It's kind of funny. The quality of the paper is better in the new book and overall I like it.

I ordered two PADI diving manuals for my 2 sons who want to take up scuba diving , but wanted to go through the manual before actually taking the course.They arrived on time and were just as advertised .Thanks,Evans BevillSpringfield, Georgia

I lost my original book and this was a good replacement. I didn't need the table and i thought it was a little overpriced but i needed it.

Bought this book for my husband because he was thinking about taking a scuba certification course. It ended up being the same book that was necessary to take the course and I paid $35.00 less than the dive shop would have charged! Awesome.

A text with everything you need to know for PADI Open Water Certification. I bought it to use as a reference, having done the course online.I preferred the video & audio learning to reading the book. However, the book is cheaper than the online course and probably a faster way to learn the material than watching videos.

Great resource for brushing up after not diving for a number of years. Sadly my copy arrived without the removable “Table 3”. Luckily this table exists in the book, but flipping back and forth to reacquaint myself with dive tables was tedious. I know my Air Integrated Computer calculates this and I can just glance at my computer now, but it’s always good to remember how to do it properly.
