Technical Diving Encyclopedia

[harveywalker500]

Hey all,

I was considering getting the Technical Diving Encyclopedia, for some bedtime reading/reference for the future. Would anyone recommend it? Are there any other books that are good that you guys would recommend?

Are you interested in it for its historical value, to see what people thought a quarter century ago? If so, then it should be a good read. Things have changed dramatically in that quarter of a century.

The Us Navy Dive manual covers everything you could want to know about diving.
Loads of tech info and other things you always wanted to know.

This is a great book something to grab and to hold it gives you options lets you make your own mind up

Uncomplicated

Unlike today where they take out your brain and have you lugging so much stuff you are sure to explode


Then there's this

IANTD Exploration and Mixed Gas Diving Encyclopedia; The Tao of Survival Underwater

The Tao of Survival Underwater is a unique text that is required reading for all IANTD Technical Diver Programs

I utilise lots of old knowledge, no matter how old, can't be a bad thing, can it, every day, and it gets older

If you can ever find a copy, I recommend "The Physics and Engineering of Diving" by R.S.Dickens. It was self published and Rory has been dead 10 plus years, but it is a wonderful physics text.

That’s something I’ll look at, I’ve always wanted to try and implement my own Bühlmann algorithm…

Have you read Deco for Divers? I think that's usually among the top most recommended books. I believe Mark Powell also published another book on technical diving specifically?

I have considered it! It would be a book I got after this one, as I would like one that's focused on techniques and the like, but it's definetely one to cosider. Technical Diving: An Introduction is a good recommendation though!

Maybe I'm ignorant but what are you hoping to get out of a technical diving encyclopedia?
