Summary: A must for all divers...
Comment: As an EMT I found this book very educational and a great reference. All divers should have this in their dive bag. It is small and very duarable (pages are plastic). My only wish is that by owning it you could qualify for lower life insurance premiums!!!!

Summary: A FANTASTIC SOURCE BOOK FOR ALL DIVERS
Comment: I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE CONCISE, TO THE POINT, AND EXTREMELY PRACTICAL WITH REGARD TO ITS SUBJECT. IT IS POCKET SIZED SO AS NOT TO BE TOO CUMBERSOME, NICELY AND NEATLY INDEXED FOR EASY ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION NEEDED FOR THE SPECIFIC AND IMMEDIATE SITUATION. WHETHER YOU ARE NEW TO DIVING OR AN "OLD SALT", THIS IS A GREAT POCKET REFERENCE TO HAVE ON HAND (OR IN YOUR GEAR BAG)ALL DIVERS SHOULD KEEP A COPY OF THIS BOOK WITH THEM ANYWHERE THEY DIVE.

Summary: Comprehensive quick reference for first aid procedures...
Comment: The guide consists of spiral bound plastic (PVC?) pages that are printed with large easy to read text. The guide measures no more than 3.5 by 4.5 inches so it's handy enough to leave in your first aid kit, or even in a BC pocket (yes, it's waterproof).
The guide uses indexing tabs so that key areas of information are easy to find. The text is divided into two sections. Section one outlines first aid procedures for injured divers, while step two outlines common illnesses and injuries that may afflict divers.
Section one includes: Emergency Assistance Plan, Safety Assessment, Rescue Breathing and CPR, Bleeding, Physical Assessment, Field Neuro Exam, Injured Diver Positioning, and Oxygen First Aid.
Section two includes: Bone and Joint Injuries, Burns, CO Tox, Shock, DCI, Lung Overpressure Injuries, Seafood Poisoning, Heart Attack, Seizures, Spinal Injuries, Squeeze and Barotrauma, Seasickness, O2 Tox, Allergic Reactions, Thermal Injuries, and Marine Animal Injuries.
The guide is very comprehensive. However, don't expect lengthy explanations. The guide provides only an outline of steps with regard to *what to do* in these instances. Which in an emergency is what is really needed. For the explanations, you'll have to refer to another text, or better still take a First Aid course.
All in all, great content, great execution, does exactly what it's designed for.
