I know a lot of people own and have read this one. At this point I am about 1/3 of the way through. While it is loaded with graphs and more than a few technical terms, it is quite informative and enlightening. I highly recommend reading the book. Even if you have no intentions of decompression diving the book explains it at a level that everyone who dives can understand. If I can understand it, then others should have no problem.
 
It's really an excellent book, and I think a must-read for any serious diver. After all, ALL of us do decompression on every dive -- it's called an ascent! It's a great thing to understand the process better than one can from the necessarily condensed information one gets in an OW class.
 
It is not the place to look if you want to “do the numbers”. Calculations get pushed to an appendix and treated as an afterthought. Bubble models do not get much of a treatment. If you are tired of the “trust us” approach to decompression this book will not completely satisfy the itch. That said it is without doubt the best summary in print.
