It is everything you need to know about diving and scuba certification in a step-by-step beginner’s guide. If you are a newly certified scuba diver and do not yet feel safe & comfortable underwater, this guide will show you how to become as comfortable underwater as you are when sitting on your couch. If you are a scuba diving instructor, this reference book will provide a quality framework to use with your open water divers to prepare them for a lifetime of legendary underwater experiences. *** Regardless of your reason for wanting to learn to dive, chances are you won’t go scuba diving after completing your open-water certification. Weird, right? There are “holes” in the way scuba diving instructors teach, and this handbook will lay it bare so you can prepare to learn to dive and get what you need for a lifetime of legendary underwater adventures. *** Recommendations are backed by industry-wide surveys that the author shares with you. He also explains ISO international scuba diving training standards so you can prepare and know if you are being short-changed. This step-by-step handbook to learning to dive covers scuba certification courses, dive equipment & dive travel with 550+ pages of actionable information. - Should I get a PADI certification or go with another dive training agency? - How much does it cost to learn to dive? How can I save money? - How can I get comfortable underwater? - What can I do to feel & be safe while scuba diving? - What are the scuba certification levels & which ones matter to me? - Typical mistakes made by people who decide to learn to dive. - The pitfalls & traps in the dive industry. How to avoid them. - Where to take your certification and with whom. - Selecting a dive instructor, dive center, dive resort & dive boat. - Your health & fitness to dive. - What dive gear to buy & what to rent. - How to save money by spending on what will actually help you. - And so much more! Most books about scuba diving are written by instructors with good content. But Darcy Kieran gives you a 360-degree view from his experience as a scuba diving instructor trainer & owner/manager of dive shops, dive equipment wholesalers, dive boats, scuba diving university programs, and dive resorts. *** This handbook won’t teach you how to scuba dive – you must get in the water for that! But you will know exactly what to do before registering for a scuba certification course. The author shares typical mistakes that would cost you time and money and, in many cases, provide you with such a bad experience that you would want to stop scuba diving. This book gives you a chance to learn from others' mistakes! It will help you understand how the dive industry operates so you can navigate it to your advantage. Do not risk missing out on a lifetime of legendary scuba diving adventures because many dive professionals you’ll encounter are not always professional. Instead, learn how to be the leader of your own adventure!

From author and teacher HeatherAsh Amara comes a revolutionary, interactive guide to the energies that make up the flow of our lives: Wild, Willing, and Wise--a contemporary reimagining of the Maiden, Mother, and Crone archetypes. Whether we realize it or not, our lives are a constant cycle through three energies: the creativity and abundance of Wild, the courage and power of Willing, and the gratitude and surrender of Wise. HeatherAsh provides in-depth descriptions of the three archetypes, detailing how each presents in excess and deficiency, so that readers can begin to recognize emotional turmoil and hardship as an imbalance of their energies. Combining anecdotes, self-reflection quizzes, simple exercises, and visualizations, Wild, Willing, and Wise teaches readers how to bring the three energies into balance in order to find inner freedom and alignment. This interactive, radical guide is not a rule book, but an invitation into an ongoing journey. Join HeatherAsh Amara on her way to becoming fiercely engaged, wildly creative, unfailingly experimental, wonderfully confused, seriously delighted, and compassionately vulnerable.
