The Simple Guide to Rebreather Diving

By Steve Barsky, Mike Ward, Mark Thurlow

Rebreathers let you dive deeper and stay underwater longer. For the underwater photographer, wreck diver or small boat owner, rebreathers offer new diving adventures. The Simple Guide to Rebreather Diving takes the mystery out of rebreathers and explains this exciting technology in clear-cut language. If you are new to rebreather diving, this book is a must. Topics covered include; Brief History of rebreathers, Applications, Hazards of rebreather diving, Common Elements of rebreathers, Fully closed circuit systems, Semi-closed circuit systems and Accessories.

Trimix Diver Student Workbook
At last a detailed workbook addressing the concerns and safe dive skills and knowledge both practical and theoretical to ensure maximum safety on Trimix dives. Specialized dive planning, planning equivalent narcosis depth, identifying the correct PO2 for various depth from 1.2 to 1.5 PO2 combined with new charts to take the guess work out of mix selection make this an unparalleled approach to Trimix diving. New tables are included with the oxygen limits listed on each dive. These tables provide additional safety by providing a range of variability in both the helium content and the oxygen percentage. Authored by Tom Mount & Kevin Gurr this material will prove to be the foundation of Mixed Gas Diving.
