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. A suite of application problems (with solutions) is
provided for the fastidious reader.
"Those who are interested in diving beyond recreational limits will want to add this comprehensive reference to their shelves." - Imersed Magazine,
"Technical Diving in Depth is on our must read list and is a great reference tool that can be used by all" - Tim O'Leary, NAUI Director, Technical Training Operations.
