    Default Diving audible books?

    I'm a FedEx driver by day and the radio got old fast. Does anyone know of audible diving related books out there?

    Audio books about diving?

    I suggest--diving.

    Listen to audio books on deco. Much more satisfying.

    Book Bub is a good option for audio books, btw.

    no. but I just listened to call of the wild on a long trip, and I really enjoyed it. Apparently everyone but me read it in high school, maybe that's why i enjoyed it and they didn't.

    the narration on the iTunes version was pretty good, maybe a little too much bass at times. no over-the-top silly voices or sound effects (that kills them for me).

    ...watch out for the one about "buddy breathing" though....there are 3 actually, hilarious descriptions.

    There's usually some fun diving scenes in Clive Cussler books. I enjoy listening to those.

    Audible.com is a great site for audio books. I drive a local route (100 mile radius) Monday-Friday and listen to Sirius or Pandora mainly. I can't stand the regular radio with all of the commercials. I have a Sirius receiver that can be paused so I do that while I am out of the truck and if there are any commercials on a talk station I'm listening to then I can just fast forward right through them! No commercials on the music channels and Pandora One doesn't have commercials either. Both of those services cost a little bit every month but well worth it for all of the driving I do.

    Check out some podcasts. I listen to Pod Diver Radio and DiverSync. Both are available for free on iTunes. DiverSync has a new 1hr episode every week. Pod diver radio has like 10 years of back episodes.

    Many of today's smart phones can read a book to you...
