scope:

ADivP-2(A)/MDivP-2(A), the Allied Guide to Diving Medical Disorders, is written primarily for NATO medical officers but it should also be of use to other NATO personnel who may be involved in the supervision of diving or the emergency care of divers. As well as containing information about the pathogenesis, signs, symptoms and treatment of diving disorders, the text contains details of diving procedures in order to give insight into the way diving problems arise underwater and the actions divers take to avoid them. A glossary of medical terms is included for non-medical personnel.
