    Scuba instruction just got easier

    This truly outstanding book is more comprehensive than most instructor certification courses. It leaves the reader feeling prepared to teach someone with a disability, yet its easy and enjoyable to read. This book is loaded with illustrations which augment the clearly written text. The author covers such things as techniques for teaching, choosing an accessible facility, how to get a program started, medical information, as well as a host of other information. Any instructor considering including people with special needs in a scuba course, would do well to read this book -- in fact reading it may well make teaching able-bodied people easier, too.
