The events are true and happened during the 25 years the author was running dive boats in the Florida Keys and the Caribbean. Tales From The Reef is a must read for every diver that wants to know how professionals handle everyday challenges on the reef. If you spent enough time with the Dive Boat Captain, these are the things he would tell you. Many areas of sport diving are covered Night Dives, Weather, Deep Dives, Marine Life, Reef Navigation, Dive Planning Highly entertaining with pearls of wisdom. R. Daniel Zieg, MD Brad Neat has used his many years of experience running dive boats in the Florida Keys to tell both novice and experienced divers what makes a safe dive on a dive boat. I highly recommend it as a fun and interesting read for all divers wanting to learn more about how to enjoy their sport in a safe way. Duncan Mathewson III, Ph.D Shipwreck Archaeologist for the Atocha project states Tales From The Reef is an informative common sense approach to recognizing and dealing with the potential dangers and pitfalls in the sport of scuba diving. The book focuses on how common mistakes can become life-threatening when more than one of them occur at the same time. As someone who has survived a near-fatal dive accident, I can attest to the importance of considering how minor problems can quickly escalate into serious ones.
