Der Autor über sein Buch
The seminal book on wreck-diving techniques.6 x 9 vertical, 144 pages, 53 black & white photos
This is the book that began it all. Before the "Advanced Wreck-Diving Guide" there was nothing in the way of published information on the esoteric equipment set-ups and methodology of diving deep wrecks. This landmark title is as fresh today as it was when it was first released nearly a decade ago, and every bit as important.
Written in the authors inimitable style, each chapter is the result of years of field work. Many of the tips and techniques were developed by the author during his extensive exploration of deep-water shipwrecks, from Nova Scotia to Key West. The chapter titles tell it all:
1 - Dive Boat Safety
2 - Overnight Dive Trips
3 - Wreck Penetration
4 - Deep Diving Procedures
5 - Decompression Methods
6 - Artifact Recovery
7 - Artifact Preservation and Restoration 8 - Quick Photography Techniques
9 - Shipwreck Research
10 - Lobster: Tail or Tale
Advanced Wreck-Diving Guide is number two of the three Wreck-Diving Guides. It is preceded by the Primary Wreck-Diving Guide (for entry level divers) and is followed by The Technical Diving Handbook (which introduces nitrox, mixed gas, accelerated decompression using oxygen, and other high-tech concepts).
