By C. Edmonds, C. Lowry, J. Pennefather, R. Walker

A leading text on diving and the human body. Completely revised, this edition covers established diving disorders as well as newly described diseases of diving medicine, modern types of diving and equipment, and free diving. Each medical condition is discussed from historical, aetiological, clinical, pathological, preventative and therapeutic aspects in an informative but accessible style. Vital reading for doctors, paramedics, navies, diving organisations and anyone with a serious interest in how diving affects the body, and methods of treatment.

By S. Barsky, D. Long, B. Stinton
4th Ed.

Covers all aspects of using dry suits, including a brief history of diver thermal protection, why it is important, types of dry suits, how they work, how to use them and how to take care of them.

Barsky, a hugely experienced diver and technical author, has teamed up with Long and Stinton, both responsible for major developments in specialist thermal suits for divers, to produce a definitive text.

A comprehensive book on rebreathers for the recreational, technical, and commercial divers, and underwater photographer. Chapters cover all types of rebreathers currently available, the history, physics, physiology, and theory of rebreather diving, pre-dive, the dive, and post-dive procedures, maintenance and travel considerations. Designed for use as a generic textbook for all agencies and all rebreathers.

NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

One of the most detailed diving reference books available and a valuable resource to all divers. A complete encyclopedia of diving technology, equipment, techniques, and procedures. More than 100 authors and reviewers, combine their expertise to address the complex issues involved in today's diving.

21 chapters on all aspects of diving: techniques to improve the methodology of underwater scientific research, new gear, operational techniques, and details to help the diver dive safely. In addition, there are ten appendices, including a glossary, references, and a detailed index. The technologies of rebreathers and mixed gas diving, including nitrox and oxygen are included; diving physics, physiology, decompression, and diving medicine have also been updated to reflect recent developments in the diving industry. The NOAA Nitrox Tables and the Nitrox Diving Procedures that are the basis for most professional and sporting standards, allow deeper and/or longer bottom times to increase diver efficiency when using nitrox, without affecting safety or increasing decompression time.

By R. Rossier

This authoritative guide provides in-depth discussions of physics, physiology, oxygen toxicity, and oxygen limits. Reviews latest safeguards and procedures, equipment considerations, and guides the reader through easy-to-follow Nitrox dive planning examples. Includes Nitrox planning tables plus the latest NOAA oxygen limits.

This book presents a working view of the reduced gradient bubble model (RGBM), decompression mechanics, and applications to technical diving. The focus is RGBM theory and correlations with experiment, lab testing, field-testing, and data. It is directed to the reader with some rudimentary understanding of decompression. Dual phase mechanics, materials, and bubble phenomenology are linked, field testing, data, and validation are discussed, and the physical couplings are presented. Extensive references are appended.

This is a guide for newcomers as well as experienced technical divers. It covers a range of topics designed to guide the reader through the basics such as equipment and physiology on to deep mixed gas decompression diving and rebreathers.

By B. Wienke

Technical topics in diving are discussed in a fourteen part series, with each topic self-contained and strategically developed in relationship to diving. Topics include energy and matter interactions, thermodynamics, pressure and density, mechanics, gas kinetics, free and dissolved phase transfer, nucleation and cavitation, bubbles and surfactants, oxygen dose, gas mixtures, buoyancy, gauges and tanks, compressors and regulators, maladies and drugs, statistics, risks and probability, binominal distributions, waves, transports, currents, geology, oceanography, geophysics, solar energy and radiation.
