Navy Dive Manual

[kidspot]

I downloaded a copy of the latest Navy Dive manual a few days ago from http://www.supsalv.org/manuals/diveman5/divManual5.htm

While I don't think I'll ever need to know how to deal with an underwater explosion, or calculate safe distances for working near a sonar transmitter... There is a LOT of good reading in those books. I'm only on book 2 of 5 so far (mixed gas ... fun stuff) I was especially intrigued by how comprehensive the physiology section was compared to even my DM reading/tests. And the chapter on the history of diving was a lot of fun too. I'm actually looking forward to book 5 (dive medicine).

Anyone else out there enjoying reading through it at the moment? What interesting things have you picked up from it?

Aloha, Tim

I can't seem to actually download the entire manual...I can save the link but that's about it.

How did you download it?

I found the Navy approved gear list interesting.

Double hose regulators?

I have a copy of it on a CD a bought on ebay. It came with some gas mixing software. I agree that it is an interesting read.

Way back in the "old daze" I posted a link to the USN manual,in about the 2nd month it became available for downloading. High speed access wasn't common so I arranged for it to be made available for download by individual chapters, as a lot of folks were mainly interested in the charts. Next thing ya know I was getting emails from people with crappy internet connections asking if I could snail mail them a CD (CD burners were uncommon, expensive & blank CDs cost over a buck ea.)
I had a couple dozen CDs run off & mailed them at around my cost of a couple bucks apiece. Having a few CDs left & not knowing what to do with them I listed them on ebay.
They sold like hotcakes!
Next thing I knew a couple of my customers started selling them on ebay too, prompting me to keep adding more & more stuff, making my version the one with the most useful programs & manuals.
All that from posting a link on an internet board. :icosm08:

I see why they got so excited. I'm really happy these links were just posted. Thanks!
