Not even worth one star!

My immediate problem with this particular book was the title and accompanying pose by the young lady on the front cover. My apologies to those who might be offended by such directness, but this particular cover begs the question; Does Miss Ursell understand what "Going Down" means?, and if so, why is she kneeling and bending forward? I am surprised a publishing company like New Holland has allowed such suggestiveness to be published.
Quite frankly, anyone taking a brief glance at the cover and title as they quickly look for some appropriate filing slot in a large book store, might easily place this book under pornography.
It reminded me of a young lady who attended a large gathering called the "Diving Officers Conference" in London several years ago. On her T shirt was a reference to Skin Diving, Sky Diving and M--- Diving. It wasn't until someone had the courage to ask her if she knew what the latter meant that she disappeared in a cloud of embarrassment - never to be seen again. I should imagine she is still trying to live it down.
As for the content, the only interesting item is the conjecture created by the front cover. The remainder is not worth either the cover price or the effort of browsing.

Truly awful

Oh dear, dear. What an awful load of rubbish. This book might have a use if you suffer from insomnia and desperately need something to bore you to sleep. Also a good book for those who need an instructor's hand to hold whilst underwater (the author did). Definitely one for the girlies, probably those that like designer matching pink Scuba gear. Dire indeed!"
