Summary: A Guide for Teaching Scuba to Divers with Special Needs
Review: A Guide for Teaching Scuba to Divers with Special Needs gives a new meaning to the word comprehensive. Yet, this relatively small volume is easy to read and leaves one feeling prepared to actually teach a diver with a disability. The author covers such things as; teaching techniques, facilities, developing a program, medical information, as well as a host of other essentials. Each chapter is packed with illustrations which augment, instead of replacing, good text. Anyone who cannot attend a course for teaching scuba to people with disabilities, will welcome this book. Many who have attended a course, will find this volume fills in the blanks they found in their course. If you are thinking about including people with disabilities in your courses, this is a must read.
