NOAA Diving Manual: Diving for Science and Technology, Fifth Edition

摘要

This is the eagerly-awaited fifth edition of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Diving Manual. The fourth edition was published in 2001 and, although a revision to that edition was published in 2010, there is no doubt that significant advances have been made to how diving in support of science and technology is carried out 12 years on. This book is rightly considered to be one of the most useful diving reference manuals, and weighing in at more than 750 pages it contains a wealth of information. In undertaking this review, I was most interested to highlight where the main revisions have occurred.
