Deep Into Deco: The Diver's Decompression Textbook, Revised Edition Paperback – March 8, 2018

Good book. Needed it for my upcoming class.

The book is a little "tender" so watch how you handle the pages - they like to pull out.I use much of the information gained during my decompression diving presentations.

A very interesting serious read on decompression theories as they stand, history, ideas, comparisons. A very deep, thoughtful and very interesting work to be read by serious curious diver. Thanks a million, Karl.

A well written, compact introduction to decompression theory. Includes discussion of many current research results, and puts those results into context for technical diving practice. I particularly enjoyed the "Various Topics" chapter that touches on all sorts of interesting questions. The Appendix chapters were an interesting read as well, and cover topics such as hydrogen as a breathing gas, or a proposed method for calculating the effects of surface oxygen breathing in order to reduce no-fly times after diving.I found the book to be an easy read. Don't expect this book to contain the full details of a deco model or study. However it will tell you about the high-level concepts, and provide all the references to further articles and publications if you want to learn more.Note that this book is not really written as a guide for how to do decompression in practice, but more of a primer on current deco theory in the context of real-world diving. This was exactly what I was looking for, but is something you should keep in mind. I, as someone who isn't a tech diver currently, found the book to be intellectually interesting. I think it would also work very well for someone who already has practical deco diving experience, but would like to learn more about the topic.

Very informative for technical divers. Easy reading. Summarizes pretty well the most important concepts about decompression on technical diving.

If you want to learn about decompression diving, this is the book. The title says it all.
