I just fell completely in love with this book and wanted to share it with everyone! It's called This Thing Called Scuba by Tom Leaird. It's kind of like an autobiography of a famous scuba diver, but it's more about the unique lifestyle that being a scuba diver entails. Leaird has more than 3,000 dives to his name, his own scuba shop (Tom Leaird's Underwater Service), and he has written several books that were used by the YMCA to teach scuab diving. The book is wonderful and I really think that anyone with an interest in diving would find it interesting.
