After reading the thread on books divers do own, I am wondering what dive related books do you recommend divers and dive lovers to have in their library?

I just finished reading "The Scuba Snobs' Guide to Diving Etiquette" by Debbie & Dennis Jacobson.
Written with their tongues firmly lodged in their cheeks in their 'snobbery', it's a humorous but effective primer on what every new diver should be taught at some point. Took me about 20 minutes to read it cover to cover.
Chapters include:
Rules of Etiquette on the Day Boat
Liveaboard Rules of Etiquette
Dress Code
Underwater Etiquette
Special Rules of Etiquette for Night Diving
Punctuality - the Ultimate Expression of Good Manners
Apres-Dive rules
Dive Talking
Apology

I'm one third through "Fatal Depth" by Joe Haberstroh. I received it as a gift last week. Non-fiction, it is about trimix divers who die while diving the Andrea Doria. It covers various years in the recent past. Written by a non-diver newspaper journalist. Interesting, for sure, but not one I would bring on a dive trip.
