    The book came in used but clean quality condition. I enjoyed the book as it had different and interesting perspectives coming from its 30 year old original printing date.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Desperately seeking editor...
    Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2008
    A good book for getting an overview of deep diving, however the poor writing and editing makes it almost unreadable. An added plus in my copy was the upside-down placement of a large group of pages. Was this published in Gilliam's garage?

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good book if you know nothing about deep or mixed gas diving, but want only a broader over view
    Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    The book is getting old, but then history stays history. The book should be titled deep air diving as that is what this book is more about. Has a nice history of deep air diving, plus some highly informative text on mixed has diving. Also loads of information on the problems when diving deep, both on air or mixed gas. All this is explained in well-understood text. The author's humor is refreshing. But what this book does best, is it makes you think for yourself, and that is worth more than double its price. If you are a stick to the rules person, then you probably would not like this book much. But if you are one for finding new horizons and limits. Give it a go.

    Reaslistic, practical, and easy to understand. Hazards and rewards of deep diving are both well defined. Safety well covered and emphasized. Good resource for either tekkies or those who will dive within recreational limits.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor writing
    Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    This is one of the most poorly written books I have ever seen. It reads like a very bad first draft of a book, or a transcript of some rambling interview. Obviously the author knows a lot about diving, and has some strong opinions about it, but the writing is disorganised and incoherent, the details are sloppy, the writing is vague on almost every technical issue, and the quoted references are mostly absent.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative. A must-have for the deep diver's library.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 1998
    Highly recommended for those already doing deep diving or people who are considering getting into it. It also serves as an excellent reference for divers seeking additional information outside of their classrooms.
