Default Any Literature?

Hi,

This will be my last question today (probably!)

As I've said before I have literally just taken up scuba diving, as I am currently just a snorkeller.

I was wondering if there are any good books out there on scuba diving?

Also, any interesting books on marine life? I've got a few myself but they are more to do with the anatomy and metabolism of marine creatures and plants. I am interested in purchasing some on general interesting marine creatures, as well as books to help me recognise fish etc.

Thanks,

Sam.

There are tons of books on marine life. Check the local library or a big bookseller like Amazon.com for one on the area you are interested in (Red Sea, Pacific ocean, etc.).

Are you taking classes yet? The course textbook tells you what you need to know about diving, or you can get something like "Scuba Diving for Dummies".
