If you are a diver, want to be a diver, there is a story here for you.
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2000
A collection of true, short stories related to the world of scuba diving from the best of the best. The stories told here make divers want to put on their gear and go diving. The same stories inspire non-divers to learn the sport. An easy read, this is a good companion book to take along on the subway or plane when reading time is limited, or as the title suggests, to curl up with in front of a fire on dreary winter's night.
As the editor of DivesafeandOften.com, I see many scuba related books come across my desk; however, this is one of the more outstanding. It is not an instructional book but rather a look at the magical underwater world and the creatures who dwell therein which are accessible only to scuba divers.

A lot of the stories in this book are written by photographers...and a lot of the sories would start as ..'when I was on a shoot for 'Deep Under'magazine I saw ...' They might be good photgraphers - which by the way is hard to judge as all pictures in this book are bad and small black and white pix - but the writing is definitely sub-standard. Also, I get very suspicious when the editor includes stories of her own,and, adding insult to injury, one that isn't about diving at all! i gave it one star because there are two ot three pieces wich were very interesting : the story, written by a navy officer - about a deepdive rescue operation in 1939. A definite no-buy.
