Beyond Open Water

Must Read

Our goal is to take divers to the next step in their diving evolution: To go beyond the open water class, to facilitate active, competent, and safe divers. Accident analysis is an important step in remaining a competent and safe diver. This suggested reading list was compiled by active divers who continue to seek those lessons learned from other divers. In many of these books, the continued theme as Don Shirley would put it is “Drills and skills.”

Accident Analysis:
