Compiled from years of research and data analysis, these materials provide valuable information on topics critical to diver health and safety and address common issues encountered by new and experienced divers. The smart guides provide top-level and vital information on popular diving health and safety issues. The guides offer themed topics with universal appeal ranging from "How to Beat the Squeeze" and "Equalise like a Pro" to "Ways to Run out of Air and How Not To". These essential resources are available to you as tools to help you enhance diving safety in the community.

This e-book was adapted from the How to Manage Diving Problems pocket guide and put into electronic format to be readily available on your electronic device. It is an e-book that is intended to be as much a part of a diver’s kit as a mask or a wetsuit, always at hand when needed.
