Book Description

"3rd Edition of BASIC DECOMPRESSION THEORY AND APPLICATION takes all rudiments of decompression theory and phase mechanics to considerable depth, while focusing on diving applications in a historical perspective. Topics span many disciplines, and the targeted audience is the commercial diver, hyperbaric scientist, doctor, physical scientist, technical diver, and dive instructor. The intent of the 3rd Edition is to present a working view of decompression in diving, mostly focusing on theory with application, including equations. The discussion is neither a medical nor physiological synthesis. Such aspects are simplified, and for some certainly oversimplified. Nonetheless, it is directed toward the diver and reader with some rudimentary understanding of decompression. Background in the physical or life sciences is helpful but certainly not necessary. Discussed are the mechanics of tissue gas exchange, bubbles and nucleation, supersaturation, perfusion and diffusion. Also included are chapters on "Mixed Gases and Decompression" - "Decompression Tables, Meters and Models" - "Decompression Risks and Statistics." References and numerical examples (with solutions) are included for more detail and extended diver analysis."--Publisher's website.

Book Description

The biophysics of diving and decompression in the human body are complex. The average individual experiences atmospheric pressure swings of 3% at sea level and over 20% at altitudes greater than a mile. Divers and their equipment can experience compressions and decompressions in orders of greater magnitude than pressures outside water, all within considerably shorter time spans. The understanding of the mechanics behind diving is based on absolute pressure and pressure changes. While these mechanics are readily quantified in physics, chemistry, and engineering applications, the physiological and medical aspects of pressure changes in living systems need to be understood clearly to assess the safety of routine divers. This monograph is a compilation of a body of knowledge on biophysics, gas transport, bubble studies and physiological models used for diving and hyperbaric applications. Information in the monograph is divided into three parts that cover biophysics and models, data correlation and validation approaches and practical applications, respectively. The book is a useful resource for researchers and maritime professionals who wish to understand the biophysics behind underwater diving and decompression for the purpose of maritime operations as well as diving simulation applications.

Book Description

While the effects of pressure change are readily quantified in physics, chemistry, and engineering applications, the physiology, medicine, and biology of pressure changes in living systems are much more complicated. This complex science translated to technical diving is discussed in a five-part series, with each topic self-contained and strategical

Book Description

This book focuses on physics and associated mathematical relationships. Basic principles are first presented, and then practical applications and results are detailed. The intent here is to present a working view of physical phase mechanics, then followed by application to decompression theory in diving. It is directed toward the diver and reader with a basic understanding of decompression. Basically the mechanics of tissue gas exchange, bubbles and nucleation, supersaturation, perfusion and diffusion, and related mechanisms are discussed. The targeted audience is especially the doctor or physiologist, physicist, chemist, mathematician, engineer or biologist by training and also the commercial diver, technical diver, instructor, hyperbaric technician, underwater researcher, looking for greater detail.

Book Description

U.S. Navy Diving Manual The US Navy first provided a diving manual for training and operational guidance in 1905, and the first book titled Diving Manual was published in 1916. Since then the U.S. Navy Diving Manual evolved over the decades to be regarded as an essential and ultimate resource for modern recreational, commercial and military divers. There have been several published versions, each one updating the content of the previous version. Revision 7 Change A is the latest version released in April 2018 and includes major updates and changes. This extensive technical manual is over 1000 pages and spread over 5 Volumes with 18 Chapters. This is essential reading for anyone serious about diving. Contents: U.S. Navy Diving Manual Volume 1 - Diving Principles and Policy Chapter 1 - History of Diving Chapter 2 - Underwater Physics Chapter 3 - Underwater Physiology and Diving Disorders Chapter 4 - Dive Systems Chapter 5 - Dive Program Administration Appendix 1A - Safe Diving Distances From Transmitting Sonar Appendix 1B - References Appendix 1C - Telephone Numbers Appendix 1D - List of Acronyms Volume 2 - Air Diving Operations Chapter 6 - Operational Planning and Risk Management Chapter 7 - Scuba Air Diving Operations Chapter 8 - Surface Supplied Air Diving Operations Chapter 9 - Air Decompression Chapter 10 - Nitrogen-Oxygen Diving Operations Chapter 11 - Ice and Cold Water Diving Operations Appendix 2A - Optional Shallow Water Diving Tables Appendix 2B - U.S. Navy Dive Computer Appendix 2C - Environmental and Operational Hazards Appendix 2D - Guidance for U.S. Navy Diving on a Dynamic Positioning Vessel Volume 3 - Mixed Gas Surface Supplied Diving Operations Chapter 12 - Surface Supplied Mixed Gas Diving Procedures Chapter 13 - Saturation Diving Chapter 14 - Breathing Gas Mixing Procedures Volume 4 - Closed Circuit and Semiclosed Circuit Diving Operations Chapter 15 - Electronically Controlled Closed-Circuit Underwater Breathing Apparatus (EC-UBA) Diving Chapter 16 - Closed-Circuit Oxygen UBA Diving Volume 5 - Diving Medicine and Recompression Chamber Operations Chapter 17 - Diagnosis and Treatment of Decompression Sickness and Arterial Gas Embolism Chapter 18 - Recompression Chamber Operation Appendix 5A - Neurological Examination Appendix 5B - First Aid Appendix 5C - Dangerous Marine Animals

Book Description

“The 7th Edition of the Commercial Diver Training Manual continues to fill the gap between learning through field experience and learning through entry-level commercial diver training. Our commercial diving students and graduates have been well served since 2016 by the author’s meticulous and thorough approach to making vast field experiences and safety come alive in the 6 th Edition, and once again in this revised 7th edition. It continues to be a leading textbook in our training, due to its technical accuracy, current content, photos, and illustrations. Safety and efficiency are pinnacle traits that any successful working diver must learn in their training and constantly apply in the field. Safety is not a simply a rule book, it is a state of mind. Hal Lomax’s approach to this and sharing his knowledge with all levels of divers has made our industry safer and advanced it entirely. At the very core of commercial diver training are two essential objectives: Going up and down in the water column safely and performing useful and effective work underwater. This textbook continues to provide both objectives into a current and well written resource for the entire industry. It remains a must for anyone’s library involved in commercial diving.” Don Barthelmess, Professor Emeritus, Santa Barbara City College Marine Diving Technology Department
