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 manual available. Mine is the 1991 Sport Diving manual, the newest is the Diving Manual and there was a version in-between from 1998.
I could only find volume two of Chris Holden’s Underwater Guides to North Wales for sale used. Presumably it’s out of print.
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 which seems hard to come by but I did find the previous edition for sale.
A field guide to Marine Fishes of Wales and Adjacent Waters by Paul Kay and Dr Frances Dipper is available on Amazon and is on Paul Kay’s website as well.
There is a fifth edition of Diving and Subaquatic Medicine by Edmonds et al but being a medical book it is expensive. You can also get the fourth edition and third edition used.
Martyn Farr’s Diving in Darkness is available on Amazon.
As predicted Rob Palmer’s book Deep into Blue Holes is out of print and quite expensive. 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.
Dive the Cayman Islands by Lawson Wood is available on Amazon.
Other Minds: The Octopus, The Sea & The Deep Origins of Consciousness by Peter Godfrey-Smith is available from Amazon including the Kindle version that I have
Used copies of Down Time: Great Writers on Diving can be had cheaply.
There is now a 2nd edition of Sharks in British Seas by Richard Peirce with an extra 3 chapters that weren’t in my copy.
