    A Necessary Book on Altitude Diving

    You cannot find many books on diving at altitude, and this one is necessary! Divers must change their regimens for altitude diving and this book helps divers to do just that. For all divers who dive and train in mountainous and high plateau regions this book should be studied and understood. Changes must be accounted for in dive tables, weight, exertion, air consumption and more. I recommend this book for all divers who may encounter any of these situations at any time.
