Commercial Diver Training Manual, 7th Edition
Author: by Hal Lomax
Format: Available Paperback & Google Play
MSRP: $65.00
Overview:
This 7th Edition of the Commercial Diver Training Manual, like the previous edition, has been written as a stand-alone work that covers history, physics, physiology, diving medicine, and first aid. All this in addition to the chapters devoted to diving technique, diving equipment, and working underwater. 
Why it's worth reading:
Those “old salts” and “young studs” involved in commercial diving can only benefit from the lessons contained in this manual; lessons learned the hard way from a man who is truly the divers’ friend. Hal continues his personal participation in our industry both topside and in the water. He continues to train (and retrain) both young and old divers. He knows the ins and outs as well as the fears and the exuberance of diving into the waters of our planet and, most importantly, knows and writes down the guidelines necessary to promote and retain safe commercial diving operations. In this manual he offers up tables, regulatory information, and industry practice. A responsible diving contractor should necessarily know the contents of this important work of dedication and should ensure that divers under his employ study and follow this importance guidance.

The Commercial Diver's Handbook:
Surface-Supplied Diving, Decompression, and Chamber Operations Field Guide, 2nd Edition
Author: by Hal Lomax
Format: Available Paperback & Google Play
MSRP: $39.99

Overview: 
This second edition of The Commercial Diver’s Handbook has a few changes worth noting. First and foremost is the update of the U.S. Navy Diving Tables from Rev. 6 to 7. Secondly, the size of the book has increased slightly and there is larger print. The decompression tables are now in color for ease of use. As for the chamber medical kits, the handbook now specifies DMAC 15, Revision 4, and the appropriate lists are provided. In addition, the reader will notice other small changes made to keep information current in almost every section, from diving medicine through emergency medical care.
Why it's worth reading:
Originally published in 2013, The Commercial Diver’s Handbook filled that requirement and more. It presented the three most commonly used air decompression tables worldwide, along with mixed gas tables, treatment tables, up-to-date diving medicine, a section on chamber operations, and a section on nitrox operations. Technical editing was performed by CP01 Charles Trombley, Canadian Navy. He was formerly with Canada’s Experimental Diving Unit and later retired as Chief Diver, Fleet Diving Unit, Atlantic.
