Diving instructors are often the first person to screen a person's fitness for diving. Bennett (Duke U. Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina) and other specialists in the diving and hyperbaric medicine field offer guidelines on how to assess the fitness of a prospective/certified diver, when to consult a physician, and how to manage problems that arise. They also address the special needs of the growing number of older, female, and handicapped divers. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
