Diving in Darkness

Diving in Darkness is written by Martyn Farr, master practitioner of the sport of cave diving. His text flows with a minimum of technical jargon and makes a significant addition to literature on diving in an overhead environment, with extensive coverage of those areas which are all too often passed over in more general works. It dispels misconceptions and myths by providing a clear, concise and modern overview of the essential equipment, skills and techniques required to dive in caves, mines, wrecks and beneath ice.With a foreword by cave diver Jill Heinerth, Diving in Darkness includes coverage of equipment choice, line-laying techniques, dealing with stress, dive planning, communications and air management; indeed, every aspect of the sport. Although the techniques described throughout the book are common to all overhead environments, there are also appendices covering special situations while diving in wrecks and beneath ice.Martyn's text draws on techniques practised throughout the world making this book particularly valuable for divers wishing to learn how others have overcome problems in different conditions - from clear, warm water in Caribbean caves to silt-laden, zero visibility in wrecks and base-fed forays beneath ice, everything is covered.Illustrated in colour throughout, this book will appeal to divers and cavers alike.Diving in Darkness is packed with 170 attractive photographs and diagrams and runs to 128pp.
