I took another sample from my bookshelves this week to talk about including books on cave diving, submarine disasters, marine life and much more. Click the image below for the Facebook Live video and beneath that I’ll include links to the books that are available on Amazon and some other relevant links. You can also watch my previous Diving and Underwater Photography Book Chat.
There are lots of different versions of the BSAC Sport Diving manual available along with the newer Diving Manual. Here are links to what I think are the version I have according to the description and picture , then the newest Diving Manual and what I think was a version in-between from 1998. If you are interested in joining BSAC click here to go to their website.
I could only find volume two of Chris Holden’s Underwater Guides to North Wales for sale used. Presumably it’s out of print. It is quite pricey but if you fancy it here’s the link. There are e-book versions of the 2nd editions available here on Google Play (no Kindle versions). Updates to the 1st editions can be found on the Calgo Publications website here.
Few Survived by Edwyn Gray is available used and also on Kindle.
John Lippmann’s Deeper Into Diving has had a 2nd edition published 2005. There is a page for it on Amazon here but it’s currently showing as unavailable. The previous edition that I have can be bought used here.
A field guide to Marine Fishes of Wales and Adjacent Waters by Paul Kay and Dr Frances Dipper is available on Amazon but may be out of print. Paul Kay’s website can found here.
There have been five editions of Diving and Subaquatic Medicine by Edmonds et al. The latest edition can be found here, fourth edition here and here and the third edition that I have is available here.
Martyn Farr’s Diving in Darkness is available on Amazon but only as a quite expensive used copy. I thinks it currently out of print. If you are interested in what Martyn Farr does, including cave diving training and talks go to his website here.
As predicted Rob Palmer’s book Deep into Blue Holes is out of print and quite expensive but can be bought here. If you are interested in technical diving the Euro Tek conference I mentioned is usually run in Birmingham every two years. It’s been cancelled this year so it may happen next year perhaps. Click here for the Eurotek website.
