you can get all of those, except the Saltsman book, directly from the NSS-DCS:

the Saltsman book is out of print and really hard to get, as far as i know

Leisurepro has some of them as well. Here's a tip as well...at least this was the case when I got my NSS Cave Diving Manual...don't go through the actual Cave Diving Section of the NSS, but go through the NSS page to buy the book. For whatever reason, the CDS section was selling it for a higher price than the standard NSS!?!

good tip there!

as to leasurepro, the Exley book is the same price and i couldn't find the other two.

Taking Intro in a couple weeks so have just been through the cave book process:

NACD "Safe Art of Cave Diving" can only be found (in my searches) at a site called speleobooks.com and you can call them and order over the phone. Even the NSS-CDS site had it on the web site, but none in inventory.

Just got the NSS-CDS Cave Diving Manual off ebay for about $10, so if you can wait, you should be able to pick it up use.

Shecks book can be found anywhere for about the same price.

Hope that helps. Remember when reading these manuals that "belly pads" and "horse collar" BC's probably aren't the best choice in this day and age

usulally? . Well they usually have the books. Proofing vs spelling, do one or the other.
