This series looks at jobs which involve a high element of danger. Through colour photographs, anecdotes and fact boxes, each book focuses on the risks involved in a dangerous occupation, with detailed information on the rigorous training that prepares men and women for the kinds of risks they will face. The authors also aim to show that discipline, commitment and professionalism are essential qualities. Focusing on the work of divers, this book traces developments in diving techniques and equipment and discusses training, the dangers faced by divers from both sea-life and the depths to which they are required to dive, the problems of re-surfacing and a day in the life of an oil-rig diver.
