The author, Luca Cicali, states that he was forced to write this book because he could not find it in the bookstore. Why? What was he looking for that was so special? A book that could take the reader by the hand and lead him or her on an adventure through sport, technique, psychology and emotions related to the silent world of underwater flight, quite different from a dry manual. A text within everyone&#39;s reach, dedicated to those who would like to try their hand at decompression diving, but also to those who just want to know a little more about what lies &#39;beyond the no-deco limit&#39;....<br />Many topics are covered, including some basic elements of the physical phenomena related to diving, how breathing compressed air alters the body&#39;s functioning, what the main decompression models are. The text also seeks answers to the most frequently asked questions: which is the &#39;right&#39; decompression table? And what is the ideal dive computer? What is a Nitrox mixture for? What equipment to use? How to plan a dive? Lots of answers and advice treated in a comprehensive and colloquial manner, but with the right amount of scientific rigour and precision.
