Diving and Subaquatic Medicine, now in its fully revised and updated Fifth Edition with a new team of collaborators joining original author Carl Edmonds, continues to be the leading and essential resource in its field.

The popular clinical case studies have been expanded, and the book features enhanced illustrative material. It comprehensively covers both established and emerging medical conditions related to diving, as well as the latest information on various diving types, including freediving and indigenous diving, and their associated equipment. Each medical disorder is discussed in the informative and accessible style that characterized previous editions, examining its history, causes, clinical presentation, pathology, prevention, and treatment.
