Editorial Reviews

Review

Explore your questions about deeper diving before you get in over your head. -- Performance Diver

He provides a thorough discussion of physiological and psychological considerations of depth. -- Rodale’s Scuba Diving

If you need additional background material on the deeper end of the recreational diving range, this is a worthwhile choice. -- In Depth

The book is well laid-out, and broken up into easily read sections with many tables and lots of photographs. -- Diver Magazine, England

Useful in this book is the extraction of important information, which is found bullet style in the margins. -- Sea Breeze

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting but not up to date and quite elementary, November 9, 1999
This review is from: Essentials of Deeper Sport Diving (Paperback)
Interesting book to get a historical review of deco algorithms, but you won't find up to date information. The mathematical side of the algorithms is not discussed, and thus this book will not satisfy those who seek in-depth understanding of decompression models. Good value for the beginner, quite frustrating for the trained diver.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too simplistic in most respects to be of value, October 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Essentials of Deeper Sport Diving (Paperback)
Bret Gilliam published an excellent book called Mixed Gas Diving (no longer in print). After reading it, I purchased this book in hopes that updated information concerning mixed gasses and decompression models would be discussed. Much of this book is basic OW information with the history of dive tables and a discussion of profiles which have indicated an increased risk of DCS. Very little here for Technical Diving, except an overabundance of warnings about diving beyond 100' (which is well within the range of even basic OW cert). I had hoped for information for those of us who understand the risks and pursue depth as a means of exploring wrecks and caves that the rest of the world never sees. Good Intro to diving to 100'or so, not very informative beyond that.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT Book!, January 24, 2004
By 
This review is from: Essentials of Deeper Sport Diving (Paperback)
I don't write a whole lot of reviews but noticed a few negative ones about this very informative book. This text is a simpler to understand and less costly alternative to John's "Deeper Into Diving", but is still a MUST read in my opinion. This text was recommended reading for my Divemaster course and should be considered as a MUST read for any serious sport diver. It indroduces you to and explains in plain English some additional risks to diving deeper. After reading this text I sought out other titles by John due to his writing style. This text makes no claims to being a TECH diver's bible, only that it informs the SPORT diver of the additional risks of deep diving. I can't say this enough, a MUST read. This text is timeless and with ANY text, product reviews and dive tables should be taken for what they are, examples. I still gain valuable information from diving books written in the 50s and 60s but am making no plans to dive those Navy tables on a double hose regulator. This was not a buyer's guide for dive computers and made no claim to being a guide for decompression diving. I think we as divers can all agree that specialties require specific training. John's book simply opens the door to many avenues. Did I mention it's a MUST read in my book, lol...
