Safe Diving focuses on basic medical fitness to dive. Written in an easy; readable style, it is essential reading for all scuba divers, rescue divers, dive instructors, DMOs and hyperbaric chamber operators, and should form part of the library of all dive training agencies, dive resorts and live-aboard dive boats. The text covers the full spectrum of conditions and ailments that affect divers, from the cardiovascular, pulmonary and neurological requirements for diving to breathing mixtures, inhaled gas contamination, heatstroke, hyperthermia, marine animal bites, vertigo underwater and diving during pregnancy. Diagrams highlight key aspects, such as ear barotrauma, while therapeutic decompression tables complement the chapters on acute decompression illness, deep diver rescue and emergency ascents. Safe Diving is endorsed by DAN Southern Africa.

Details about many of the divers that I evaluated are included with comments on the way their dives got them into trouble and the chamber at City Island, NAHC. I discuss their treatment profiles and the results of their treatment. It presents a larger series of bent divers than any I am aware of. Should you find another comparable series contact me at [email protected]. Ideas about bends have changed from the concept that a bubble formed in the nervous system because of a rapid ascent or the joint by cavitation-negative pressure. Rapid ascent or joint motion caused the culprit to appear and pressure would make the bubble go away. Now we are focused on treating tissue damage with oxygen. But, we are still using pressure and oxygen to increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the affected tissue. The treatment of choice is the 5 hour long U.S. Navy Treatment Table 6 which washes out the nitrogen in the tissue and washes in the oxygen. Careful understanding of how my patients got bent and how they responded should make any diver more cautious regarding repetitive diving and a multi-day series of dives. Pressure at the deepest part of the dive washes in the nitrogen over time. Fatty tissue, that includes the central nervous system and peripheral nerves, absorbs more nitrogen than watery tissues such as muscle. Shaping-up to dive includes weight loss, abstinence during the duration of the series of dives, and improving lung function. Physical conditioning prevents tachycardia, a rapid heart beat, during exertion. A program of regular exercise two or three times a week prevents early fatigue during prolonged exertion, or increases stamina. Exercise such as walking 20 or more minutes a day for several weeks before diving is as important as paying for the trip. Swimming accustoms one to buoyancy, relaxing in the water, and adjusting temperature regulating reflexes such as vaso-constriction in the skin on immersion. Dive accidents sometimes do not have a treatable solution. Most "accidents" resolve after one re-compression breathing oxygen under pressure. Many patients were treated multiple times, and some did not get complete relief of their symptoms and/or neurological findings. Immediate therapy traditionally is in-water re-compression which has its drawbacks. It is difficult to administer and hypothermia, fatigue, and drowning are risks. Surface-On-Deck oxygen breathing from a face-mask or immediate re-compression in a chamber are always effective treatments. Transport to a facility has logistical problems and the destination chamber may not be functional when it is needed. The U.S. Navy Diving Manual Rev.6 Vol. 5 20-4.4.2.1 has procedures for In-Water Re-compression using AIR, 20-4.4.2.2 In-Water Re-compression Using Oxygen. Both sections advise going to 30 fsw and additional instructions for decompressing. If oxygen is used and the decompression has been completed then 3 hours of oxygen breathing is the procedure. One cylinder of oxygen and a face mask are good for one diver for 3 hours. Where are the other cylinders for other divers? The book is about the chamber that I personally operated and staffed. I was almost continually available. The number of bent divers that I treated, not all are included in the book because they were routine, speaks for itself. AAA, Avoid An Accident-Plan Safe Dives.

Scuba Exceptional is the perfect sequel to Simon Pridmore's Scuba Confidential - An Insider's Guide to Becoming a Better Diver. It reflects the same philosophy of safe diving through the acquisition of knowledge and skills. The themes are new, there are some wonderful and extremely useful new cautionary tales and the focus this time is more on issues that face experienced divers. For example, there is more technical diving content but, as usual, Simon covers complex issues in his usual clear and easy-to-read style. In many cases, the concerns of technical divers reflect those of scuba divers at every level. After all, as he says, technical diving is on the same spectrum as conventional sport diving: it is just a different frequency. Scuba Exceptional also deals in detail with the psychological approach to scuba diving, broaching topics from new angles and borrowing techniques and procedures from other fields of human activity. While most of Scuba Exceptional focuses on the diver, it also takes a look at the wider picture and highlights a number of areas where scuba diving professionals and the “industry” as a whole are letting divers down. As always, Simon is realistic in his assessments. He may shine a little light on the dark side of the scuba diving world, but he does this in order to illuminate bad practice and encourage change, while offering solutions. He also provides insights on a wide range of topics. For instance, do you want to know... what makes someone a good diver? how to swim against a current without getting exhausted? how you can be out of air while you still have plenty to breathe? what the concept of failure points is? how to be a defensive diver? how preconditioning applies to scuba diving? how long you should really wait between diving and flying? when to call DAN (and when not to call)? how corals could possibly be animals when they look like rocks? how to avoid being left behind in the ocean? what’s happening in the world of rebreather diving? or what the perimeter of ignorance is? Scuba Exceptional has the answers to these questions and a lot more
