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.

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.

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.

This book covers PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale) as a risk factor in diving and thus the text is concerned primarily with dissolved gas and the subsequent aberrant distribution of those venous bubbles in the presence of a natural and common anatomical variant of cardiac development.

The prevalence of PFO is about 25% in the general population and several respectable investigators have studied this problem and feel that PFO should be considered a definite risk factor for the development of decompression sickness.
