Dr. Bill Hamilton, pre-eminent dive physiologist, in collaboration with dive training expert Joel Silverstein, has released NAUI NITROX: A Guide to Diving with Oxygen Enriched Air. This full color, extensively illustrated 160 page book, the result of over five years of development and a lifetime of expertise, has been critically acclaimed and promises to become the "gold standard" by which all other Nitrox training materials, from any agency or publisher, are judged.

According to world famous tech diver Capt. Billy Deans: "I can’t think of any experts better to guide you than Dr. Bill Hamilton and Joel Silverstein. I’ve put my life in Dr. Bill’s hands, in the form of his expertise and table creation, many times. He’s the guy NOAA, the military, and the huge industrial concerns trust with the lives of their people. You’re learning from The Man. This is the book we would have paid many thousands of dollars for not too long ago."

Also available is a comprehensive integrated NAUI Nitrox diver training program, instructor guides, exams, dive tables and slides. Let's take a look at what's inside.

NAUI Nitrox: A Guide to Diving with Oxygen Enriched Air is a comprehensive text that focuses on the practical information a diver needs to know to use oxygen enriched air effectively and safely. The text is presented in 14 chapters. It reviews gases, explains the all-important concept of partial pressure, covers oxygen physiology as well as oxygen limits and tolerance techniques, tells how to select the right mix and to have the right amount of gas, includes both procedures and tables to manage no-stop dives, incorporates dive computers and dive planning software, reviews mixing and how to obtain a tank of enriched air, and provides an introduction to technical diving, as well as contingency procedures. An appendix includes several useful tables supporting the topics just mentioned, a glossary of terms, and a bibliography that also includes cited references. Specific learning objectives are stated at the beginning of each chapter.

Why this book over other agency books?
That's a simple one.  Because it's better, and here's why:  This is the only text on oxygen enriched air that addresses all of the things a diver needs to know to use enriched air.  It's the only text that can stand alone.  What this means is you can pick it up and read it.  It's not a spiral bound workbook.  It is easy to follow.  Each chapter builds upon the previous one in a modular format.
