First Paragraphs
This is nominally a review of a 2001 publication, the NOAA Diving Manual, Diving for Science and Technology, 4th edition, NTIS Order Number PB99-144321INQ, and available from NTIS, see www.ntis.gov/product/noaadive.htm, or Best Publishing, see www.bestpub.com. It is available in hardcover ($89), softcover ($79), and searchable CDROM ($89) editions, or as a package of hardcover plus CD-ROM ($160) or softcover plus CD-ROM ($139). Be advised the CD-ROM does not support Windows 2000 or Mac, according to the NTIS website.
The first edition of the NOAA Diving Manual was published in 1977, the second in 1979, the third in 1991, and now this most recent edition. The notable new material in this latest edition concerns the use of "oxygen-enriched air," commonly called Nitrox, now a popular item in recreational diving as well as science diving.
