Wanted: "Decompression-Decompression Sickness"

[Brian Donaghy]

Does anyone know where I can buy a copy of Decompression-Decompression Sickness by Buhlmann?

English translation please, ich sprache kein Deutsch.

I posted this a good few months ago on a number of forums & didn't get much of a positive response. But I noticed poking about in the YD archive a number of you claim to have read this. Does anyone want to sell or lend me a copy?

Thanks,
Brian

Tried to source the book but it is out of print.

Amazon can put it on order but the wait me be a very long time untill they source a copy.

Best bet is local library as they usally can source reading copies.

Regards.

Sorry.
My copy is "Tauchmedizin" and technical German is an aquired taste.

You'll be lucky, it's been out of print for years in English. Try a med school library maybe?

Are you after a general deco theory book or the algorithm?

[Andy Phillips]

UCL (University College London) have it in there library, they will give copies of chapters - for a fee.

As everybody has mentioned it is well out of print, try the University libraywhere you are.

Edit: just e-mailed a mate of mine in the Teviot Building, he is going to e-mail the Library up there and let me know. It is fascinating reading, well worth the effort.

Yes, I know. I've been checking different places for over a year with no luck.

I want to read the original book. I've noticed that details often get twisted or skipped over when things are collated into an other book or paper. This can be especially true of internet learning. I'm okay with the algorithm itself.

Just thought I'd check. A lot of people want it for cobbling together deco software, there are plenty of resources on the net that have everything you would need to do it. If you get a copy, can I have sloppy seconds?

Technical hitch, the library is closed over Christmas as it is moving to a new building.

Brian,

If you can wait till after Christmas, and are prepared to remind me at least 10 times, I will copy my copy for you. But I would be buggered by an enourmously large wooden pole if I am doing it today and I finish work in about 1/2 hour.

It will not help you much, it really is fascinating, but old now, he never went passed 8 compartments 95% of the software and computers still using a Buhlman variant use 16, one or two 24.

If you consider when it was written it is amazing, especially when you consider much of his therory is being PROVEN to be correct today.

Dammit my copy of Tauchmedizin must be a fake.
I should demand my Swiss francs back.
