COMMERCIAL DIVER BASIC MANUAL, 2th Edition (Diving Mastery Series: The Definitive Guide from Novice to Instructor)

By ALEX FATUM

The second edition of the Commercial Diver Basic Manual, measuring 6.14 x 9.21 inches and spanning 550 pages of text and 325 illustrations on diving topics, is the most comprehensive version. The textbook is published in a color version with a soft cover. A common thread in the training system for commercial divers is the certification of commercial divers. To be eligible to work in many countries, divers are required to possess specific certificates and training. In the United States, two primary certificates are essential for work: the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) and the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA). Commercial divers generally need certification in the country where they work. For example, divers working in Canada will require certification from the Diver Certification Board of Canada (DCBC); those in Australia fall under the jurisdiction of the Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme (ADAS); and in the United Kingdom, certification from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is mandatory. Gaining information from this textbook on commercial diving today will yield positive results in any international diving school tomorrow.Complete training program from theory to practical exercises, the book covers it all, catering to both professionals and apprentice trainees.
