If you are a diver, what you learned about topics such as decompression sickness and narcosis in your scuba diving classes is unlikely to have been as complete as you thought. Most of it will have been over-simplified and some of it will just have been plain wrong, as diver training agency texts have not kept pace with the science.Despite 170 years of research, the fundamental nature of decompression sickness, decompression stress and narcosis remains unknown. Great advances have been made to make diving safer, but there are still glaring gaps in our knowledge. -- Scuba PhysiologicalScuba Physiological"There are some lovely thought-provoking ideas and questioning of current dogma. This book is well worth the read. Some of the early chapters on decompression models and the blood vessels got my brain working hard." -- Joseph Dituri PhD (c), CDR, US Navy Saturation Diving Officer (ret)
