Industry Reviews

John Heine, former president of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences and an accomplished writer and photographer, has served as a member of the Diving Control Board for the National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs, and is currently the diving safety officer for that program. His diving has taken him to many areas of the world, including both poles and tropical areas in between. A certified instructor in ice diving, he has conducted many scientific and sport dives under the ice. He spent 10 seasons in the Antarctic doing research dives through ice that was 10 feet thick, in water temperatures of 28.6 degrees Fahrenheit and air temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit. This second edition is an excellent book for those who dive or plan to dive in a cold environment.
