5.0 out of 5 stars High Altitude Diving - A great find!, May 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Diving Above Sea Level (Diversification Series) (Paperback)

Not a lot of books out there on diving at altitude, and this one is needed! Divers need to change their regimens for altitude diving and this book helps divers to do just that. For all divers who dive and train in mountainous and high plateau regions this book should be studied and understood. Changes must be accounted for in dive tables, weight, exertion, air consumption and more. I recommend this book for all divers who may encounter any of these situations at any time.

This review is from: Diving Above Sea Level (Diversification Series) (Paperback)

There aren't many books written about altitude diving. This book is a good reference source for understanding altitude diving.
