One of the greatest scientific and technological achievements of
the 21st century will be to cast a light on the eternal darkness of
the deep ocean and this book identifies the key determinants of
life or death in its extreme environment. Dr. Erik Seedhouse
examines how individuals survive free dives to 200m, how humans
adapt to breathing exotic gas mixes at depths exceeding 700m, and
how technological innovation will enable humans to enter
unendurable realms. The book describes the problems unique to the
hostile environment of the deep ocean, such as decompression
sickness, discusses how the human body responds to increased
pressure, and what happens when adaptive mechanisms fail. Ocean
Outpost describes how the technology will evolve, how crews will be
selected and trained and what a typical underwater mission will
entail. The book also chronicles the frontiers of diving medicine
that will eventually take humans into the midst of a world we could
once only guess at.
