[PSUBS-MAILIST] US Navy Diving Manual

["Jorge Lourenço Jr." <jorgelourencojr@ig.com.br>]

Dear PSUBers,

I've been reading the US Navy Diving Manual. A lot of fun !

Take a look on the table of contents below and if you don't get your mouth
wet quit PSUBS,
you're not an authentic PSUBer...;^))

I've seen this Manual quoted in many diving books over the years but only a
few days ago I searched for it.

Isn't Internet great ???

Download it from:

http://www.coralspringsscuba.com/miscellaneous/usn_manual.htm


It's BIG though...8.2Megs the zipped file...

or you can browse thru the chapters on line...

or you can buy it, dead trees formatted or CD, close to US$ 200,00...

This is a VERY GOOD resource, a must have for the ones interested in
understanding gas mixtures, physiology, etc.

Enjoy it !

Jorge Lourenco Jr.
