"Mel" is short for Melanie

and you are right, it is a passion for her to help in providing good training material for students looking at taking a CCR Class.
This book, just like our others, ("Rebreathers Simplified" and "CCR Trimix Simplified") are all in full rich color and are expensive to print. The writing style and pictures are designed to help promote easy and fun reading which encourages the learning process.
Ah now I understand the other post so this is apology number 2 for the day (an unacceptable figure).
I'm sorry Melanie....
In any "instructional" book the information in and of itself is of little value, the value is in the way the information is packaged and presented to the reader, this directly effects the learning curve. You wouldn't explain proper cookie use/placement before proper arrow placement or reel management. My point is almost all of what we do is based on readily available information and technology so saying that the information is out there is irreverent of course its there.
