The Essentials of Deeper Sport Diving

The Essentials of Deeper Sport Diving
John Lippman

This book is not about technical diving but covers many important aspects of decompression physiology and deep-diving techniques and equipment that any diver ought to know. I see it for 1 cent used on Amazon - get a copy !!!
