Rating: - The Essentials of Deeper Sport Diving, by John Lippmann
This book covers a wide range of decompression and DCS topics. It is an outstanding book on the more technical aspects of diving. (I wont lend this one out !)
Rating: - Very good guide
John Lippman is the authority on deep diving in the sport diving community. This book is excellent -- I read it as I took an Extended Range Diving course (to 240 fsf) and it covered everything in the course and more. If you're interested in going deep, buy this book.
