The Basics of Rebreather Diving: Beyond SCUBA to Explore the Underwater World: Volume 4 (Jill's Guides)

Jill knows what she is talking about. This is THE Rebreather Book for anyone considering getting into this flavour of diving.The images are a tiny bit blurred as the book feels a bit POD.Still excellent

Easy to read with thorough information about rebreathers...well worth a read if you want to know more about the "magic" rebreathers.

I bought this book to gain easy to understand information about rebreathers with a view to moving in that direction from open circuit in the near to medium term. This book offers just that and more.It presents all the information in layman's language that makes the content interesting, easlily understood and frank when pointing out the pros and cons.This book has already made me pause for reflection and question my motives for using a CCR, it will make you think about your attitudes to risk, discipline, training, technical maintainence, budget, your past mistakes and much more! It is most frank about the increased risk of rebreather diving, I like Jill's honesty.... Even if you decide not to go to CCR your knowledge of them will be much deeper and may come into use when others are diving them around you or other less experienced divers ask you about themI would recommend this book to anybody who wants to make an informed and conscious decision about such a large finacial investment.

Bought this for my dad as a Christmas present. He is a keen scuba diver and has been for years, but he has said this book is perfect for those wanting to move onto rebreather diving.

Excellent book, gives all you need to know before your investment in rebreather.

Very well written and easy to understand

I bought this book to get a good understanding of what rebreathers were and whether they were something I wanted to steer my diving towards. It fulfils this role admirably and deals with the various styles of rebreathers, how they work and what the advantages and disadvantages of them are. It gives a good overview of what is involved in maintaining and using rebreathers and gives a realistic view of what can go wrong.It does not set out to teach you how to dive a rebreather, or to replace a proper rebreather certification course (rightly so), but if you read and understand this book you will have a very thorough grounding to get the most out of a rebreather course, and to make sensible decisions about rebreathers and what you may be getting yourself into.Thoroughly worth reading - P
