Technical & Mixed Gas Scuba Diving & Rebreather & Expedition-Extended Range Diving Techniques - Extremely Detailed Information on Self-Survival Skills for ALL levels of Water Enthusiasts - Full Color Photography throughout

This is the first book to span the depth between traditional sport diving editions and the complex medical/commercial texts. It provides a balanced view of the fascinations and hazards of deep diving through extensive factual development of its technical chapters.

Covers basic diving physiology; the pathophysiology of decompression sickness; maritime toxicology; assessment of fitness for diving; special considerations for female, elderly, and pediatric divers; diving-related problems in people with pre-existing medical conditions such as pulmonary, cardiac, and neurologic disease, and much more, with new chapters on the kinetics of intert gas, marine poisoning and intoxication, and diabetes and diving.

'Technical Diving From The Bottom Up' is a guide to both 'would be' and experienced technical divers. Covering a range of topics, it is designed to guide the reader through the basics such as physiology and equipment configuration, before moving onto deep mixed gas decompression diving and the use of rebreathers.
