My copies are quite well-worn now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Whether you are an advanced, professional, or technical diver seeking to increase their knowledge, or if your partner is an avid scuba diver and needs a seasonal or birthday present&#8230;. these books make a great choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"scuba-b4-h2-2\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;\" id=\"scuba-226061824\"><div class=\"scuba-adlabel\">Sponsored Link<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9354033900485448\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9354033900485448\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2393012471\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technical-Diving-Books-Theory-based\"><\/span>Technical Diving Books: Theory-based<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The first section of books is more theory-focused and academic in nature.

It&#8217;s required reading for my own technical diving students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent years crawling through, very dry, scientific articles trying to get a grasp of the subject, but Mark manages to get all of that information into his book in an easy-to-read style.
