Interactive links add an extra dimension, bringing the content to life with engaging video clips. Practical hints and hands-on learning make it easy to grasp the fundamentals in a playful way. Rather than learning everything at once, each book covers a specific, age-appropriate selection of content from the many topics and materials of a traditional Junior Open Water Dive course. The same SCUBA skills and techniques are explained in easy language, introducing them gradually in extremely shallow water environments. Young divers can progress through them over time, at their own pace, building confidence and competence over time.

“There before us were two Fokker biplanes giving one of our planes a bad time.... He was going down.... we were together in seconds....I fired on the Jerry....under our crippled plane.... the other Jerry swept across us.... so close I had an excellent look at this chubby faced lad.... the Jerry turned to give us his only burst, it passed close above my head.... I got a short burst in, point blank.... he slipped over and went into a spin.... as I turned I was met by a bath of oil and then the engine stopped with a jerk.... in more recent times whenever I saw a picture of Herman Goring head of the German Luftwaffe in WW2 and Hitler’s second in command it always reminded me of the chubby boy I saw that day” Lieutenant Charles Johnson served 3 years with the Canadian Army in WW1 on the Western Front building railways and in the last 6 months of the war flying over 400 hours as an Observer in No.2 Squadron RAF. His original manuscript written from memory 40 years after the events reflects his sense of duty mixed with detailed descriptions of places and events and humour.
