Very good condition. This manual provides a wealth of practical information to help novice and experienced divers alike cope with emergency diving situations. Starting with dive planning and the factors that can help prevent accidents, the book moves to first aid and the treatment of conditions from burns and broken bones to hypothermia, decompression sickness and shock. In a separate section on dangerous marine life, detailed advice is given on how to treat bites and stings. Major rescue techniques are dealt with, from towing an unconscious diver in the water to assisted ascents, from rescuing an injured diver from the depths to landing him on boat or beach.
