Before we immerse you in the many useful ways in which an instructor may evaluate diving fitness in a dive student, we would like to dispel a myth of oversimplification that divers are medically disqualified on the simple basis of disease or diagnosis. Read the first page

Assessment of Diving Medical Fitness For Scuba Divers and Instructors is Excellent!, July 5 2006
By Dr. Hillary Viders - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Assessment of Diving Medical Fitness for Scuba Divers and Instructors: Medical, Physical, Physiological, Psychological (Hardcover)
Assessment of Diving Medical Fitness For Scuba Divers and Instructors is an excellent book which should be read by all divers, scuba instructors, and diving physicians! It is filled with up to date information presented in a user friendly style but comprehensive enough to educate divers of all levels, both recreational and professional. I particularly like the emphasis that Dr. Bennett places on the need to evaluate each diver's individual medical, physical and psychological components of fitness and the fact that these components should be reassessed as the diver ages and/or progresses to more challenging levels of diving. As a thirty year veteran of diving, teaching SCUBA, EMS, and Dive Accident Management programs, I wish this book had been written a long time ago!"Dr. Hillary Viders

Co-Author's Review, July 12 2006
By Ernest S. Campbell "scubadoc" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Assessment of Diving Medical Fitness for Scuba Divers and Instructors: Medical, Physical, Physiological, Psychological (Hardcover)
I jumped at the chance to write about medical fitness for divers and instructors when approached to do so by Peter Bennett. I've always admired Dr. Bennett's work and felt to be in great company with him and Frans Cronje.Instructors are in the line of fire, so to speak, when deciding if a medical problem is germaine to the decision whether or not to dive. They should not be medically responsible, but certainly should know when and when not to ask for medical backup if a problem should arise with a diver. It is with this in mind that this book should be read and kept on the desktop for reference.
The book is easy to navigate, does not insult your intelligence by talking down but does speak in easily understood terms. I'm proud to have been a part of producing this needed addition to the scuba diver's library.
