4.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for those contemplating the next step., 10 April 2006
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
It has now been some years since Rob Palmer died. For this reason, the very latest in Technical Diving techniques will not be found within the pages of this book. Nevertheless, Rob Palmer was nothing if not a great pioneer of technical diving. Whenever this man's knowledge and expertise was coupled with his ability to teach and write, then we were treated to a book which will always have a great deal to offer. Even today, this book still has a great deal to teach the modern diver.

"An Introduction to Technical Diving" is exactly that - an introduction. Speaking as a scuba diver with over 30 years experience, I am happy to recommend this book to anyone contemplating that next step in their diving "career." By this, I mean, if you are seriously thinking of progressing from ordinary scuba diving to the more complicated aspects of technical diving, then you could do a lot worse than read this book before doing anything else at all. The book will explain so much that sometimes appears to be a foreign language to those who are not technical divers. After that, the reader can simply make up their own mind about that next step.

An all-round first class introduction to a very important topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars a really good introduction to technical diving, 13 Sep 2001
By A Customer
A fascinating insight into technical diving and the author Rob Palmer (now deceased). You really don't put it down so it's a fairly quick tour through many different aspects of technical diving including development, techniques and theory, psychological and physiological reactions, gas blending, cave diving, re breathers, what to do if you miss a deco stop, what not to do, etc. etc. There's plenty of life saving information for anyone who dives. Quite readable for any open water diver, essential reading for anyone thinking about taking it further. This book could definitely save you from an early demise.
