Whoever gave you your required reading list...your lecturer? He/she should buy themselves a dictionary ;) - their spelling is atrocious! :)
Contact BSAC UK for their publications. BSAC

The International Journal of Sports Medicine has a link here

Also try the online British library here

Good luck on your thesis.

I believe all those can be found at the Smithsonian Institute, perhaps you may contact someone there and see about obtaining a copy.
Also you might want to contact Dan (divers alert network) they have done countless research on diver related diseases,injurys and other medical issues related to diving. They are very helpful and you may even get a job with them after graduation. Good luck in you quest! Sam Dollins www.reefsavers.org
 
hi
well seriously speaking ,behind the mask , let take it step by step
- sea - water : symbolize mother (like a baby in the belly of her mother) so divers usually addor their mothers
- dry suits :(distance ) divers usually dont show their real fillings easy even if they are a litle bit loonies , but because of diving and the feeling that you are responsible for its other underwater , they are easy in making relations and this sometimes affects and sex life
- budy diver: they use to trust few people . they learn to trust their own power
- when the time need it , they take with them only what is needed , they learn this from diving convinience
- they use to know what they want
- usually they are not emotionally connected with money , they use to get passioned on other things , maybe this comes out of the pleasure they collect from diving and the the adrenaline they store in bad situations ( if any)

this way you can find more :))))

Sounds like a horoscope rofl

actually not , it really sounds like smbdy (me ) is trying to look behind the mask and finally find out , that behid the mask there is a snorkel
hehehehe
 
:) And what about tropical divers (like me). I do not wear a drysuit and actually don't adore my mother :)
 
Technology obsessed nature freaks! (Gemini?)...Or more Pisces/Aquarius :) hahaha
 
I don't know, I don't have the first clue about astrology. Don't believe in it either... rofl
As far as the subject diver personality is concerned, most of the divers I know are thrill-seeking, high risk personalities. That means they like diving, but also driving fast, surfing, skydiving smoking and drinking etc etc. You get my point. I don't smoke by the way.
However, when I read the threads on this website, most people here take diving seriously (as do my friends, don't get me wrong) and they decline from smoking and drinking, some of them even following specilas diets.
The point is, I don't know if there's such a thing as a Diver Personality... What does everybody else think?
I was just kidding with the astrology though, because one of the previous post sounded like a horoscope.

Diving is about control, self control, control of equipment, control of your movements, its control pure and simple. The interesting thing is its not about control of others, its all between your ears.

Bobco
 
allright sander dont get so serious , i dont beleive to astrology either but , i do beleive in beautifull womens with bikini and strings on the beach getting tunned by the sun on top of white sand and near to bright blue waters , any way , bobco is getting it right ... (but in psychology everything has its own symbol -just like sea and mother in pregnancy-)
