Textbooks

Pre-study is paramount and necessary to your success in achieving the required level of competency.  There is a written exam as well as on-the-water requirements for each level of certification.  Reading the material ahead of time (use the course curriculum to guide your study) will facilitate your learning as well as your enjoyment of the course.  Order from your local bookstore or directly through ASA at 310-822-9557.  When contacting ASA, ask for Niecy and mention that you are registered for the ASA courses to receive the member discount. Prices below do not include shipping. ASA does not stock "Annapolis Book of Seamanship" or "Chapman's Piloting". Check your local bookstore or www.amazon.com for those titles.
