  Written for doctors and paramedics responsible for the medical needs of divers both on and under the water, this book has also found a wider readership among those who have a serious interest in diving problems, such as A & E personnel, armed services medical units and otolaryngologists. Now in a larger format, this third edition brings the presentation up to date. Over a third of the chapters are either new or totally rewritten. The new material covers diving fatalities, diving environments, the female diver, psychological problems, long-term diving disorders, cardiac diseases in diving, submarine medicine, and drugs and diving. Topics carried over from the previous edition have been heavily revised and edited for currency and completeness. Despite the great changes, the emphasis is still firmly on practical management.
