If you're looking for a good read on this topic, check out Diver Down. Real life stories and how to prevent them.

Do the Scuba Review:

That should cover the basics with some self-education...a great reality check is this book:

This book describes a fatality from that very thing.

As part of my Rescue Diver certification the instructor recommended we read Michael Ange's Diver Down. Its a collection of real life diving accidents and how to avoid them. http://www.amazon.com/Diver-Down-Real-World-SCUBA-Accidents/dp/0071445722

This poor fellow must not have taken this advice...
