Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Good tool. One I hope I'll never use
Rating: 
It is smaller than I thought, therefore really easy to carry on your BC. It is sturdy and really easy to read and follow. The index makes finding the information you need really easy. I'll give it a read once every diving season and pack it along with the BC, hoping I'll never have to reach for it.
Not worth the money paid.
Rating:
This is basically a very expensive simple first aid guide. If this book only cost $5.00 or less it would be worth the money. This book goes in depth about assessment, which is great, but it does not tell you what to do about items that are found abnormal in the assessment. The information in this book is very vague. I would recommend a better book. This book does fit nicely into a log book binder.
informative but very small
Rating:
Outstanding product produced. I was just taken back on how small the book was. the picture was just looked bigger than it is. Other than that it has great resources.
Covers it all
Rating:
This little book pretty much covers anything that can happen to a diver, and is specific to diving injuries from drowning to the bends to stings and bites. The best thing about this book, aside from the material, is that it is completely made of plastic and is impervious to water so you don't have to worry about taking it on deck with you or even carrying it in your BCD pocket.
If you forgot the information in that CPR class you took years ago this will refresh your memory.
Great little reference book
Rating:
If you dive and can't remember all the first aid you might need, get this little plastic book. It's small enough to fit in your BC pocket and sturdy enough to last forever.
It has the basics of first aid for most diving but DAN also has at least one other specialty dive first aid book.
