Description

Published by the European Diving Technology Committee (EDTC), the editors and authors of this book represent the powerhouse of European and North Sea diving expertise. They have joined together to produce a concise collection of guidance for medical examiners of divers, whether they be UK, Scandinavian or EU based, setting out fitness to dive standards.

Originally released in 2004 with the title Medical assessment of working divers (still available from this site), this updated publication has changed title to additionally address risks associated with hyperbaric tunnelling works which are becoming more complex including mixed gas and saturation procedures.

Edited by Jűrg Wendling, Roland Vanden Eede, David Elliott, Jack Meintjes, Jean-Louis Meliet and Tor Nome.
