Can anyone recommend good dive related books?

What are some good dive related books out there? I already have Deep Descent, The Last Dive, all of Gary Gentile's books, and the OxyHacker's Companion.

Try this one!

Fatal Depth: Deep Sea Diving, China Fever, and the Wreck of the Andrea Doria

or,

Neutral Bouyancy

Both good reads!

Safe Diving!

The Fireside Diver is a compendium of short stories related to the history of diving. It's a good read.

I like threads like this one. Makes me think I'm not the only one totally consumed by diving. I am currently reading Deep Diving and Submarine Operations. It is pretty much the history of diving. It originaly came out many years ago but still a wealth of information.

I honestly have like every single dive book that I have ever picked up. Even the Jarrod Jablonski's doing it right had some very interesting info in it. I would have to say the most comprehensive dive book that I have with tons of opinions on diving would have to be the technical diving encyclopedia by Tom Mount. Tom Mount is the one who started IANTD. Any book is a good though and I have appreciated every single one I have ever picked up.

My night stand has a copy of "Shipwrecks of the Sunshine State" by Mike Barnette, has lots of goodies in it. I never realized there were a couple of good wrecks right where I had been doing a little spearfishing... who'd a known.
Inside the stand is a bunch of 1960s vintage Scuba Diver mags, great nostalgia stuff.
BEST Publications has some good stuff, as does the Historical Diving Society.
