The first is 'Diver' by Tony Groom. It spell's out his life as a royal navy mine clearence diver, the role the unit played In the Falklands War and his time as a saturation diver In the north sea. This book was very funny, full of black military humour, a alltogether excellent read.
The book came with a DVD of the author reading and commenting on a few of the books chapter's too. Also contained on the DVD is a segment about life as a saturation diver on the north sea oilrig's. This was very Interesting to me as that's my goal. It showed you life Inside the saturation chamber, conditions In the bell and how the 28 day dive worked. This is the authors website.
