This textbook is ideal for all recreational divers who have discovered the joy of their hobby and want to get more involved in the sport. It covers all the theory required for Advanced Open Water Diver and/or 2-star diver certification. It also includes some practical examples in the form of short film clips that can be accessed online via QR codes. This book does not overload you with unnecessary knowledge, but leads you directly to an internationally recognised diving certification for advanced recreational divers. The book also includes the two speciality courses in underwater navigation and group leadership, which are required by most of the CMAS and R.S.T.C diving associations.
The author, Karsten Reimer, born in Kiel in 1961, had the great advantage of being born right by the sea. When he saw Flipper on television for the first time, he knew that he wanted to become a diver. His first attempts with homemade compressed air tanks made of cardboard went wrong, as expected, and his mother had her hands full regularly preventing him from drowning. It was only many years later, at the age of 18, that the author finally found a diving school in Kiel that took on the task of turning him into a real recreational diver. At that time, diving schools were still few and far between in Germany. It was inevitable that after training as a CMAS 1-star diver, he would go on to train as a CMAS 2-star diver, and so on. In 1986, he took his first diving instructor exam on Elba, followed by many more courses and exams. Now, after more than 45 years, the author is not only an instructor and examiner for divers and diving instructors for CMAS and R.S.T.C., but also holds a management position at an international diving association, the IDA. As the Baltic Sea is only 10 minutes away from his home, the author still dives a lot and enjoys it very much when he is not busy overhauling his compressor, as high air quality is very important to him.
