Assessment of Diving Medical Fitness For Scuba Divers and Instructors
A dive instructor is the first person to assess the general health and medical fitness of a prospective diver before he or she enters the water. Whether the diver is a recreational scuba diver, commercial, military, or research diver, the same evaluation of physical fitness will apply.

Internationally recognized authors, surgeons and researchers Peter B. Bennett, Frans J. Cronje, and Ernest S. Campbell collaborated on this new book to provide instructors and divers a clear and concise reference addressing the principles behind the necessary medical considerations and related decisions on diving fitness. The book will help instructors and active divers determine when the input from a diving physician is mandatory and how to sensibly screen prospective divers for medical problems.

Assessment of Diving Medical Fitness For Scuba Divers and Instructors is also an excellent reference for the first time divers and experienced divers who may have medical questions related to their personal health and fitness. It is designed to provide advice in relatively simple non-medical language.

In the final analysis, it is the personal responsibility of each diver to make decision whether or not to dive, and Bennett, Cronje, and Campbell complied this laymen’s guide for just that purpose.

The Camera Coach: Your Guide to Creating Underwater Video
The new DVD The Camera Coach: Your Guide to Creating Underwater Video features one and a half hours of camera, lighting and editing techniques. This product shows viewers the necessary techniques to produce great video, both above and below the surface.

As taught in the DVD, video is all about motion and you must give your viewers action. Underwater filmmaker and dive instructor, Annie Crawley, developed this visual product after working with so many dive enthusiasts who could not grasp concepts of shooting video from the books they read. She called upon professional editor Jeff Morse to co-host the program and teach you right from the beginning that shooting and editing go hand in hand.

The underwater video Camera Coach DVD includes extra examples of what to do with your video footage, including Annie’s very first footage that captures mating bottlenose dolphins in the pristine waters of the Caribbean Waters in Belize. The DVD highlights worldwide destinations including California, Galapagos, the South Pacific and the Caribbean.
