Great reading for a beginning diver

I purchased this book for my daughter as she is starting diving with the Navy Sea Cadets. She is enjoying the read and I am thrilled she is learning so much about the origin of modern SCUBA. I definitely recommend Jacques biography to anyone interested in diving.
