Scuba Confidential is a unique book packed full of valuable tips and expert advice, giving you unprecedented access to the secrets of dive professionals and technical divers.

With Scuba Confidential, you will learn how to master skills and techniques that will make you a more confident, capable and safe diver. It offers an informed, balanced view on some of scuba diving's most contentious issues like going solo, deep diving and rebreathers and includes a comprehensive analysis of how diving accidents happen and how to make sure you do not become a statistic.

Scuba Confidential also gives you valuable insights on a vast range of topics such as what it's like to do a cave diving course, how to make sure you buy the right equipment, what to consider when choosing an instructor, things even the pros get wrong and where to find the best diving in the world.

This is candid, no-nonsense practical advice from a professional who has been involved over the last three decades with virtually every aspect of the sport.

  • How the professionals look so comfortable in the water?
  • What it is like to dive under ice and inside shipwrecks?
  • Which training courses are worthwhile and which might just be a waste of time?
  • If you would make a good technical diver?
  • If you should be considering a rebreather?
  • How you can reduce your air consumption?
  • Whether you might actually be safer without a buddy sometimes? Or
  • How muck diving can possibly be any fun?

Scuba Confidential has the answers to all these and many more.

Editorial Reviews

Review

If PADI's Open-Water manual is the Bible of scuba diving, consider this the New Testament. Scuba Confidential is the closest thing there is to a scuba diving self-help book.David Espinosa, Editor-in-Chief, Sport Diver magazines
What a welcome book! This will be an excellent addition to the training books currently used. Evelyn Bartram DudasNAUI #8672
'Scuba Confidential' is much more than just another, 'How-To' diving manual...David Strike, OZTeK Organiser
Simon provides a black-box approach to avoiding some of diving's pitfalls and gives some great tips and insights....Terry Cummins OMA
The pleasure is in the incisive writing, with a notable lack of waffle, the logical structure of the book and the fact that not only does Pridmore know what he's talking about, but he is supremely confident about the validity of his insights. In short, he cuts the crap. It's everything we wanted to know about diving but were afraid to ask before the moment passed.Steve Weinman, DIVER Magazine, UK

Simon's wealth of knowledge as a diving educator and experienced diver is evident within the content of this book. I especially like the 'Becoming a Better Diver' summaries with each chapter, which are obviously the thrust of the book. A wise diver should collect these into one document and study and understand them fully.
Kevin Gurr: Pioneer, Inventor and Author of Technical Diving From the Bottom Up

Scuba Confidential is ideal - and inspirational - reading for a newish diver looking for direction, but however experienced you are I think it's likely that you'll enjoy the book and get something from it. It will set you thinking about aspects of your own diving. It's a very easy and stimulating read.

From the Author

Learning to dive is easy; becoming a good diver is hard. It requires dedicated application. You may find that, after reading Scuba Confidential, you need to make changes to established habits, but you will see that even apparently minor things can make a world of difference to your comfort and confidence in the water. It is a good idea to opt for evolution rather than revolution and make changes or adopt new techniques one by one. A step-by-step process is much easier to manage.

I hope you enjoy reading Scuba Confidential, that it causes you to review and reflect on how you dive, that it helps you progress, that you find it a useful reference to return to time and again and that you find that it does indeed succeed in making you a better diver!
