Technically Speaking: Talks on Technical Diving

Technically Speaking: Talks on Technical Diving Volume 2: Foundations and Strategies is the second book in this series by best-selling author Simon Pridmore.

Part one, "Foundations", is for people who are thinking of getting into technical diving or wondering what technical diving is all about, introducing topics such as the pros and cons, the attributes you need, how to prepare, what to expect from a course, how to choose your training path and common mistakes new technical divers make.

Part two, "Strategies", is for qualified technical divers looking for new perspectives and insights. The topics also include examples to follow and precedents to avoid if you want to prosper in this most challenging and complex of sport diving’s disciplines.

These talks reflect Simon's take on dive safety and technique, and he shares what he has learned over the decades he has spent involved in technical diving, identifying areas where further progress in the sport is still needed and where common practice could be improved.

Author Simon Pridmore has been at the sharp end of the scuba diving industry for 30 years. He pioneered mixed-gas deep diving in Asia, and he has held the regional franchises for IANTD in the western Pacific and the United Kingdom. He also spent several years working for cutting-edge mixed-gas computer and rebreather manufacturers VR Technology. Today, Simon is one of scuba diving’s most prolific writers, with a five-volume Scuba series, several guides for travelling divers, a biography, a novel and even a couple of divers’ cookbooks to his name. He and his wife, Sofie, currently live among the outer islands of Hong Kong. Find out more about Simon and his books at www.simonpridmore.com or via his Substack newsletter Scuba Conversational.
