Must have for serious divers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A very informative book written in an easyish way. A must have for any high risk technical, commercial or navy diver.
Best of type.....
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book appeals to me for a few reasons.....It is a concise no nonsense approach to diving medicine for everyone from diving novices to hyperbaric physicians (I have seen both groups use this book). I think it is a must for all doctors who treat or do medicals for divers. The main problem with this book is that it comes in paper back and my personal copy is now deteriorating from overuse. Its that kind of book that you just keep going back to.For the price and breadth of knowledge (including venomous fish/shark attacks the facts as well as decompression illness and medical conditions that preclude diving) there is no book than can come close.
Great starting point!

This book offers a wealth of information on a whole range of diving related medical subjects and provided the information at a level that even non medically trained readers could follow clearly and concisely. This reference offered me a great starting point to begin to understand many of the medical considerations facing divers and their doctors.
