REFERENCE LIBRARY
All of the books contained in my personal Reference Library (excluding those in the Dive Guides section) have been purchased because their
contents have merit. Therefore, if I was asked to recommend books, all of the ones listed on this page would be those I would recommend.
In order to give you some idea as to why a particular book has become part of my Reference Library I have given it a rating between 1 and 5 (5 being
the highest rating). I have applied this rating to the following three categories:-
It is my intention to provide a more in depth review for each of the books in my list (as time permits). Please check the Whats New page
regularly to see those books I have recently reviewed. In the meantime if you cannot wait for a particular book to be reviewed, please feel free to
contact me with details of the book you would like me to comment on and I will endeavour to reply.
