Despite being roughly a decade old, John's "Bible" of diving remains quite relevant on basic issues of dive theory, narcosis symptoms and other real "nuts-n-bolts" stuff. Granted, diving has progressed into mixed gas, dive computers and rebreathers, but much of these fields are still changing so rapidly that nothing in print is truely up to date. This is an essential reference to help understand diving...all 600+ pages of it.
Detailed info on dive physiology & decompression theory
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This book by one of the most published authorities covers scuba and free diving physics, physiology, decompression theory in depth, and has sections on deep diving, etc. It's an excellent source and a "must read" for advanced divers, divemasters & dive instructors. The book has detailed references, and is very impartial in tone. Some sections (such as constantly changing dive computers) are getting a little bit outdated as of 4/97
