5.0 out of 5 stars The Simple Guide to Commercial Diving , February 26, 2005
By Don Barthelmess "Don Barthelmess" (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is a straight-talking insight into this unique and challenging industry. Barsky and Christensen have collaborated to produce a book that is beautifully illustrated combined with relevant written experiences from their days in the field. They present a no-nonsense discussion of what it takes to prepare and succeed as a commercial diver.

There are many rare photographs provided by industry pioneer Bev Morgan which have not been previously published.

The book is a "must read" for persons considering entering this industry.
