Deco for Divers provides a comprehensive overview of the principles underlying
decompression theory and physiology. Mark Powell has written a book that for
the first time allows the average diver to fully understand the principles
behind this fascinating and critical aspect of diving. As well as a thorough
examination of air decompression the book also addresses decompression using
nitrox and mixed gases. It is completely up-to-date and includes information on
the latest developments including deep stops and advanced bubble models. Deco
for Divers bridges the gap between introductory books and specialist scientific
journals and is suitable for new as well as highly experienced divers. This is a brand new technical guide which provides a comprehensive overview of
the principles underlying decompression theory. Mark Powell has written a book
that for the first time allows the average diver to fully understand the
principles behind this fascinating aspect of diving. This book bridges the gap
between introductory books and source scientific information. "It explains decompression in a way that normal divers can understand".

| This is a truly remarkable book which covers
all the various theories of decompression
and ascents for divers in a most readable
and understanding manner. There is no other
comprehensive book on decompression to
my knowledge which is so easy to read and
understand by the average recreational or
technical diver. Peter B. Bennett, Ph.D., D.Sc. Executive Director, UHMS. Emeritus Professor of Anesthesiology, Duke University Medical Center. Founder & 1st President, DAN This is the most comprehensive and well-written text I've seen that attempts to explain decompression theory to divers. Dr Richard Vann Assistant Research Professor in Anesthesiology, Safety Officer and Director of Applied Research at the Duke Hyperbaric Center, and Vice President for Research at DAN. This book is a "must read" for those who have ever wondered about decompression tables and how they are created. It is a straight forward book and devoid of technical jargon. It starts with the scientific giants who developed the physics of the gas laws and the physiology of diving and ends with M-values and tissue bubbles. For the curious diver – and all divers should be – it will be money well spent! Michael R. Powell, MS, PhD. NASA (retired), Medical Sciences Division, Johnson Space Center, Texas |
