Book Synopsis The Commercial Diver's Handbook by : Hal Lomax
Download or read book The Commercial Diver's Handbook written by Hal Lomax and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several generations, the U.S. Navy Diving Manual has been considered the Bible of both military and commercial diving, regardless of where in the world these operations were performed. In the past, the U.S. Navy Diver's Handbook was the go-to source for military and commercial divers when they were in the field and did not wish to carry the complete manual with them. The last official printing of the handbook was in 1994, and after that time there was a desperate requirement for a handbook for the commercial diver. Originally published in 2013, The Commercial Diver's Handbook filled that requirement and more. It presented the three most commonly used air decompression tables world-wide, 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. 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 to emergency medical care. As with the previous edition, this handbook will again prove to be a valuable tool in every commercial diver and supervisor's possession, no matter where in the world they are working.
Book Synopsis Commercial Diving by : Scott Williams
Download or read book Commercial Diving written by Scott Williams and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's nice to be able to tell people that you're a commercial diver. It's an exciting profession, one that's both physically and mentally demanding, somehow capable of simultaneously being "hands-on" and also intensely cerebral. The substantial amount of money you can make is great too, especially considering how quickly you can be trained. Another nice thing about being a commercial diver is that the profession is expansive and growing. There are commercial divers employed as marine photojournalists, others work for the police department, scouring river bottoms for missing persons. There are specialized divers trained to handle sensitive jobs around hazardous or even nuclear sites. Perhaps the largest employer of commercial divers is the offshore oil rig industry, which employs commercial divers as underwater welders and repairmen who live on the rig for days at a time. This book is designed to provide a comprehensive, detailed, step-by-step guide for individuals interested in pursuing the commercial diving profession. If you want to learn all about what the commercial diving has to offer you, and how you can become a commercial diver, then read on.

Download or read book Harvester of the Sea written by Kurt Ward and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harvester of the Sea by Kurt Ward Kurt Ward began his life of adventure as a child – diving for sea life with his father. He continued by joining the Army Rangers for four years and was medically retired as a sergeant. He has also achieved the rank of Skydiving Jump Master, accumulating over 1000 jumps during his time. He eventually returned to his first love – the sea, working as a commercial salvage and underwater construction diver, and then joining the lucrative sea urchin industry. After obtaining a special degree from the College of Oceaneering in San Diego, he began to work in the Gulf of Mexico oil fields after Hurricane Katrina – working his way up to a mixed gas diver, and finally retiring as an operations manager and field supervisor. Harvester of the Sea is a thrilling tale of a man who sought adventure wherever he could – and was well rewarded for his efforts. It tells the true tale of Kurt Ward and his various daredevil exploits – the trials and tribulations of a deep sea diver. Witness his experiences—both exciting and terrifying—with the otherworldly experiences of working beneath the waves, and the people who dedicate their lives to it. This is a book that will thrill as well as stir a deep respect for the sea and that which lies beneath.
Book Synopsis Commercial Diver Training Manual, 6th Edition by : Hal Lomax
Download or read book Commercial Diver Training Manual, 6th Edition written by Hal Lomax and published by Best Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updates in the 6th Edition - Comprehensive rewrite can be used as stand-alone reference - Extensive index - Easy-to-read formatting - Color photos/tables/figures added - Colorful book cover ABOUT THE BOOK The 6th Edition of the Commercial Diver Training Manual represents an almost total rewrite. Where previous editions were designed to be utilized in conjunction either with the NOAA Diving Manual or the U.S. Navy Diving Manual, the 6th Edition has been written as a stand-alone work that covers history, physics, physiology, diving medicine, and first aid in addition to those chapters devoted to diving technique, diving equipment, and working underwater. This manual is presented with the understanding that fully qualified instructors experienced in underwater work will provide any further explanation required by the reader. At the same time, the intent was to provide a manual to enhance both the theoretical and the practical training of the diver, with a view to providing graduates that are more knowledgeable and well informed in their chosen trade, performing their assigned tasks in a safe and productive manner. To that end, this manual strives to present the following: - Diving physics in a clear, concise manner - The latest theory and procedure in physiology and diving medicine - The latest in practice and procedure both inland and offshore - The most commonly used diving and support equipment accepted for use in today’s industry While it is understood it would require several volumes to address every conceivable task performed on every type of underwater project employing commercial divers, this manual endeavors to cover the most commonly performed tasks and the most common underwater operations. By presenting these more common projects and tasks in detail, it is hoped the reader will be better informed and better prepared for a career underwater. In addition, by further illustrating both technique and safety concerns with case studies and personal accounts from the author’s career, the manual shows the reader these are more than just words being presented: suggestions help the reader become more proficient and safety guidelines keep the reader from injury or death.

Download or read book Commercial Diver Training Manual, 7th Edition written by Hal Lomax and published by Best Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-01 with total page 1009 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The 7th Edition of the Commercial Diver Training Manual continues to fill the gap between learning through field experience and learning through entry-level commercial diver training. Our commercial diving students and graduates have been well served since 2016 by the author’s meticulous and thorough approach to making vast field experiences and safety come alive in the 6 th Edition, and once again in this revised 7th edition. It continues to be a leading textbook in our training, due to its technical accuracy, current content, photos, and illustrations. Safety and efficiency are pinnacle traits that any successful working diver must learn in their training and constantly apply in the field. Safety is not a simply a rule book, it is a state of mind. Hal Lomax’s approach to this and sharing his knowledge with all levels of divers has made our industry safer and advanced it entirely. At the very core of commercial diver training are two essential objectives: Going up and down in the water column safely and performing useful and effective work underwater. This textbook continues to provide both objectives into a current and well written resource for the entire industry. It remains a must for anyone’s library involved in commercial diving.” Don Barthelmess, Professor Emeritus, Santa Barbara City College Marine Diving Technology Department

Download or read book Developments in Diving Technology written by Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1985-03-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up to about 30 years' ago diving activity was centred primarily on the naval services, who provided a lead in the development of equipment, techniques and procedures. Apart from one or two spectacular salvage undertakings, the main commercial activity up until that time was fairly low-key work in docks and harbours. The concept of saturation diving emerged from subsea habitats of which Captain Cousteau was one of the pioneers. This led the way to commercial development in support of exploration and the production of offshore oil and gas, and I believe that my friend Henri Delauze was one of the first to mount the subsea habitat on deck and provide a sealed bell to convey divers from the habitat to the seabed without change of pressure. A remarkable feature of offshore oil and gas technology in the North Sea has been the willingness of all concerned to exchange information regarding R&D. This has had a major effect on the advance in technology over the last few years. As far as diving is concerned, it is to some extent 'Hobson's Choice'. Legal patents are difficult to achieve in this field, and the casual nature of diver employment to date has meant that ideas and techniques circulate almost as freely as the divers themselves. In addition, the advertis ing of the new technologies which one has to offer almost auto matically means disclosure of what otherwise might be secret.

Book Synopsis Commercial Diver Basic Manual by : Alex Fatum
Download or read book Commercial Diver Basic Manual written by Alex Fatum and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-12-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commercial diving is a form of professional diving. Regardless of the specific sector within commercial diving, it demands a skill set far removed from recreational diving. This discipline encompasses the inspection, maintenance, repair, and construction of underwater facilities, including sewage treatment structures and subaquatic hydro installations such as bridges, oil rigs, nuclear power stations, ships, wind turbines, and other artificial constructions. Additionally, natural features like coral reefs fall within the purview of commercial divers. This book covers the entire mandatory theoretical and practical training program for diving specialists. This manual includes diverse topics such as diving physics, offering insights into contemporary decompression tables and guidance on independent calculations of gas breathing mixtures and procedures, anatomy, diving-related illnesses, treatment of diving-related injuries, first aid, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The processes of searching and raising sunken objects are described, operation planning, dive logs, records, and commercial diving standards, blueprints, and report writing, mixed-gas diving, as well as industrial and marine safety. Readers will familiarize themselves with essential practical exercises that every diver should master during underwater descents. This book imparts basic knowledge of the principles and structure of diving gear, such as scuba tanks and rebreathers, as well as equipment for underwater welding and cutting, rigging and locksmith tools, specialized suction pumps, and pumps for ground excavation. Information is also provided on the procedures for various underwater works and the operation of specific diving equipment, including high-pressure compressors, hyperbaric chambers, and rescue gear. Basic knowledge of hydrology and subaquatic structures such as dry docks, mooring structures, and dams will be conveyed. Furthermore, the textbook includes a course on physiological aspects affecting a diver's body during immersion and the actions of rescue divers during the provision of first aid. Despite the variations, a common thread in the training system for commercial divers is the certification of commercial divers. To be eligible to work in many countries, divers are required to possess specific certificates and training. In the United States, two primary certificates are essential for work: the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) and the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA). Commercial divers generally need certification in the country where they work. For example, divers working in Canada will require certification from the Diver Certification Board of Canada (DCBC); those in Australia fall under the jurisdiction of the Australian Diver Accreditation Scheme (ADAS); and in the United Kingdom, certification from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is mandatory. The majority of the current demand for commercial diving in the United States is associated with the repair of oil rigs after hurricanes. Another area of increased demand is the sharp rise in inspections and repairs of bridges, dams, and other structures due to flooding. For those willing to pursue a career in commercial diving, the rewards are generous. The initial annual salary for a commercial diver ranges from $40,000 to $60,000, including comprehensive benefits. As a diver gains experience and proves themselves, the salary can grow to $100,000 or $150,000 per year. The book is valuable for both professional divers and apprentice trainees, as it contains materials that provide an understanding of the peculiarities of the diving profession. Gaining information from this textbook on commercial diving today will yield positive results in any international diving school tomorrow.
