Synopsis

Diving Game Methods introduces a novel approach to diver training by integrating game-based learning, aiming to enhance both skill proficiency and enjoyment in recreational diving. The book draws from established techniques in swimming instruction to improve essential diving skills such as buoyancy control and underwater navigation. By making learning fun, divers are more motivated to practice, leading to better skill retention.

The book provides a structured pathway for both dive professionals and recreational divers. It begins with the theoretical foundations of game-based learning, progresses into tested game formats categorized by skill focus, and concludes with guidance on integrating these methods into existing dive programs. Each game includes setup instructions, safety considerations, and adaptation suggestions, ensuring practical application and skill enhancement.

It's worth noting that traditional diving instruction sometimes lacks the engagement needed for skill integration, a gap this book aims to fill. This guide emphasizes that integrating structured games into diving significantly improves skill acquisition, diver retention, and overall enjoyment. By combining established training techniques with the demands of recreational diving, Diving Game Methods offers a unique perspective and innovative tools for skill development.

The book's approach is rooted in motor skill learning, educational psychology, and practical experience, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their diving skills.

Other Ways to Win - A...

Lee Craigie

WINNER: Vikki Orvice Women’s Sports Writing Award, Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards

‘I rode back down the hill to the athlete’s village. Some of Team Scotland had been watching on the big screen and I arrived to hugs of congratulations. I went inside for a shower and ceremoniously dropped my heart rate monitor into the bin. It was the first day of the rest of my life.’

A little before 1.30 p.m. on Sunday 21 July 2013, Lee Craigie crossed the finish line at Cathkin Braes in the southern outskirts of Glasgow several minutes ahead of her nearest competitor to become the British cross-country mountain bike champion. Lee’s win was the culmination of seven years of training and sacrifice, but it marked the beginning of the end of her competitive career; less than a year later, at the same venue, this time representing her native Scotland at the Commonwealth Games, she crossed the line and quit professional bike racing for good.

Lee Craigie is one of Scotland’s great bike racers, yet she has accomplished much more since retiring. In Other Ways to Win she tells her story of growing up near Glasgow and discovering the freedom of cycling – skipping French lessons and heading off into the Campsie Fells to see just how far she could ride. These teenage adventures established cycling as the thread which would run through her life – not only through her racing life and into a new life of two-wheeled adventure, but also through the positive impact she would have on the lives of others, particularly encouraging other women through her work with the Adventure Syndicate. Written with breathtaking honesty, she recounts epic adventures along the Tour Divide, Silk Road and the Highland Trail 550, and examines themes of friendship, loss, identity and the power of the outdoors – and of course cycling.

Lee's story is a welcome reminder that there is more than one way to win at cycling – and life.

Cold-Water Eden

Richie Fitzgerald

An immersive memoir about a groundbreaking surfing career, and a stunning portrait of Ireland as one of the world’s most captivating big-wave surfing destinations.
Born and raised in Bundoran, with the waves of the west coast of Ireland breaking at his doorstep, Richie Fitzgerald was moulded by his environment – from his initiation to surfing at the age of 9 in the cold Atlantic water to becoming Ireland’s first ever pro surfer and competing on a global scale.
But learning to surf in 1980s Ireland wasn’t without its challenges. With little to no equipment, Richie duct-taped Marigolds over woollen gloves to protect his hands from the freezing water and even melted Christening candles to pour on his board in place of surf wax.
Yet the west of Ireland boasts waves of size and quality to rival those in California and Hawaii, attracting surfers from all over the world who want to test their mettle, and Richie has surfed the biggest, and most dangerous, of them.
Cold-Water Eden is not just a captivating memoir about a transcendent sport: it is at its heart a coming-of-age story about one man’s pursuit of big waves and the dawn of Ireland as a singular destination on the global surf scene.
Richie Fitzgerald's Cold-Water Eden is a special autobiography that takes you on a personal journey through the best of Europe's surfing spots. It's a top pick for those with an interest in sports, travel, and memoirs.
For fans of Daniel Duane (How to Cook Like a Man), Andy Martin (Surf, Sweat and Tears), Garrett Mcnamara (Hound of the Sea), and Yvon Chouinard (Let My People Go Surfing).
