The Encyclopedia Of Recreational Diving

The Recreational Diver was chosen with care. We think that „recreational diving“ describes our activity much better than „Sport diving“ as it is for people who want to become divers and not for those who want to try diving. There is a gap to close. A gab in training, that has been weakened by greed. A gap in the training material that is outdated and a gap in the actual training, that is getting easier and easier, to be able to sell it to an even broader range of potential customers. No matter if they have the physical and mental prerequisites for the sport. It is time for a new training system, where quality is more important than quantity and where the individual is more important that the size of the course. Have a good dive.

The First Edition of the Encyclopedia of Underwater Investigations, published in 1994, was a groundbreaking addition to diving literature. To this day, it remains one of the preeminent publications in the area of underwater forensics and investigations. The manual demystifies and clarifies underwater investigative procedures, providing a clear, descriptive, step-by-step instruction manual for the public safety dive team and underwater investigators. The Second Edition of Corporal Robert Gordon Teather’s pinnacle text is now updated to include new tools and technologies used by today’s underwater investigators. Many individuals working in the fields of investigation and public safety diving have supplied their expertise to update Robert Teather’s original text, thus creating an enduring resource for public safety divers and underwater investigators for years to come.

This is the first book to span the depth between traditional sport diving editions and the complex medical/commercial texts. It provides a balanced view of the fascinations and hazards of deep diving through extensive factual development of its technical chapters.
