Synopsis

Teaching how to deal with diving emergencies, this is the British Sub-Aqua Club's standard textbook for divers of all standards. It begins with dive planning and accident prevention, and goes on to explain first aid and the treatment of injuries from burns and broken bones to hypothermia, decompression sickness and shock. A separate section on marine life describes treatment for bites and stings. Major rescue techniques are explained in detail, from towing an unconscious diver in the water to assisted ascents, and from rescuing an injured diver from the depths to landing him on boat or beach. The book also covers rescue management, including the use of rescue equipment and after-care. The main focus of the manual is to provide information on what can be done by divers at the scene of an accident until qualified medical care is available.
