Scuba Confidential gives you valuable insights on a vast range of topics such as what it is like to do a cave diving course, how to make sure you buy the right equipment, what to consider when choosing an instructor, things even the pros get wrong and where to find the best diving in the world. This is candid, no-nonsense practical advice from a professional who has been involved over the last three decades with virtually every aspect of the sport. 
 
For example, have you ever wondered? 
 
How to look as comfortable in the water as the professionals do? 
What it is like to dive inside shipwrecks? 
Which training courses are most worthwhile? 
If you would make a good technical diver?  
If you should be considering a rebreather?

Whether you might sometimes actually be safer solo diving? 
How to dive deep safely? Or 
How muck diving can possibly be any fun? 
 
Scuba Confidential has the answers to these questions and many more. 
If PADI's Open-Water manual is the Bibleof scuba diving, consider this the New Testament. Scuba Confidential isthe closest thing there is to a scuba diving self-help book and a must-read forany diver, new or old.

Editor-in-Chief, Sport Diver magazines 
  
Simon's wealth of knowledge as a divingeducator and experienced diver is evident within the content of thisbook. I especially like the 'Becoming a better diver' summaries with eachchapter, which are obviously the thrust of the book. A wise diver shouldcollect these into one document and study and understand them fully.

What a welcome book! I have beeninstructing SCUBA for several decades now and this will be anexcellent addition to the training books currently used. I would encourageall our clients to purchase it.

This is required reading for all divers, regardless ofexperience level, whose minds remain open to the book's underlying messagethat, "Learning to dive is easy; becoming a good diver is hard." 'ScubaConfidential' is much more than just another, 'How-To' diving manual.  
David Strike, OZTeK Organiser 
  
Instead of writing another training manual, Simon hasutilised a unique approach to sharing his many years of experience underwater.Through the use of case histories Simon provides a black-box approach toavoiding some of diving's pitfalls and in doing so, he gives some great tipsand insights on subjects important to divers at all levels that may not befound in other publications.

    An evocative portrait of the Triple Crown–winning racehorse trainer: “sportswriting as good as it could ever possibly be” (New York Daily News).   At seventy-seven, James “Sunny Jim” Fitzsimmons should have been considering retirement. His six-decade career stretched back to 1885, when, as an eleven year-old, he began working as a stable boy. After failing as a jockey, Fitzsimmons—or Mr. Fitz to those in the know—started training horses, eventually winning three Kentucky Derbys, two Triple Crowns, and more than two thousand races. But by 1951, glory seemed to be behind him. His wife’s sudden death took the light from his eyes, and retirement loomed. And then he met Nashua. She was the kind of horse trainers dream of. Big, powerful, with a windpipe that could suck down enough air to keep her running for weeks. Mr. Fitz knew he had a winner. It was only a matter of time before he realized that he had also just met the most remarkable horse of his long, storied career. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Jimmy Breslin including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.
