Advanced Sport Diving

Sport diving attracts more and more people of all ages who, having learnt the correct techniques, go on to enjoy the thrill of discovering the underwater world. Following on the success of the British Sub-Aqua Club's Sport Diving Manual, this book presents advanced techniques for divers wishing to go on to more ambitious explorations.
Advanced Sport Diving looks at planning and leading a dive, at diving conditions round the world and how to understand and use the decompression tables. Diving around wrecks is covered in detail, with advice on equipment, navigation and research, and methods of underwater searching, lifting and communication are all described. The book provides an introduction to specialist diving activities such as cave diving, ice diving and deep diving, and considers the organization and running of expeditions at home and abroad.
Including information on safety regulations and salvage law, Advanced Sport Diving is the most authoritative and comprehensive manual available on its subject. Fully illustrated throughout, the book will prove invaluable to all sports divers.
