NOAA Diving Manual: Diving for Science and Technology

The NOAA Diving Program, which is recognized as one of the leading authorities on scientific diving and undersea technology, will soon release its revised, Fourth Edition of the NOAA Diving Manual. The manual contains the basic through advanced applied diving technologies needed to carry out scientific investigations and various tasks of the working diver. It is written in a non-technical style so it will be informative to all who are interested in safe diving techniques.

More than 100 authors and reviewers, selected from a diverse spectrum of experts in recreational, commercial, military, scientific and research diving, combined their expertise to address the complex issues involved in scientific and research diving. Each author/reviewer was selected for his knowledge and skills, as well as his understanding of the needs of scientific and research divers.
