I personally don't think that hunting on scuba is very sporting from an outsiders viewpoint. This is only my opinion, but I think a valid one. Since the book covered both arena's, I elected to skip over the information that dealt with scuba, and read about the sport as it relates to Freediving. This book gives detailed information on the various types of guns, as well as the other diving gear needed, letting the reader know the pro's and con's of each type, without the author expounding his views of what is best. Although many of the graphics were basic in their design, they got their point across as to showing what was being explained within the books text.
Safety is stressed throughout the book, both while diving and when handling the gun in detail.
Environmental ethics are also discussed in a fair amount of detail, which I felt was a very valuable asset of this book. Stressing it in this day in age of radical environmentalism helps to develop responsible practices on our part in helping preserve our natural resources, as well as building an awareness for wanting to protect it without going to extremes. The book also covers harvesting other game like lobster and abalone. The photographs give the reader an excellent idea of what to expect in their hunting trips. Although they aren't extremely well done, they represent an accurate cross section of the various people who participate in this activity.
