The Location of the Dive Hidden Machine

Cocancer's Island - 2012 - Gym Leader Cali
"Imagine my surprise to find so many Tandor Pokemon in Creshire, if one knew where to look! Even Pokemon thought to be mythical. And nowhere had more Tandor Pokemon than the coasts, to my delight as a beach bum. On the forbidden isle of Garlicburg, I met some Glavinug and tried to teach them my Dive HM (it's not supposed to cross international borders - oops!). It didn't work. I asked Glavinug why, and it showed me something amazing - it already knew Dive! And what a powerful move, far more powerful than my little Tandor HM. These Glavinug could bring enough air to last for a day, and dive as deep as a submarine, all while resisting immense pressure. When this air bubble was released, a powerful force struck upward. Useful in battle!"

"...Garlicburg, an island prone to occasional earthquakes or even migration. It was worth dodging the military and sneaking in. The sand, the coconuts, the surf!"

Heart takes notes in his notebook to show to the party later. "Thank you Slowking. Also, I take that Delta Pokemon book please to read okay? When I finish read do I need to give it back?"

"Yes, all reference books must be returned before leaving the Library. It wouldn't do you any good outside the Library anyway."

When you finish reading your one specialty book, you instantly gain a point in that specialty. That's all that happens mechanically. As Dragonstrike mentioned, it may be wise to spend XP FIRST, then use the Library to pick up your 2nd or 3rd point in the specialty. We can help you with the math if you need it.

Here is some info I've typed up about Deltas previously, which Heart now knows in great detail.

You learn there's no limit to the potential number of deltas. 
You can see why the Scimitars might be interested in obtaining them, for new moves and abilities. 
You learn no one has yet learned to breed them properly, though it might be possible with the right Destiny Knot. You also cannot create a predictable Delta species by mutating a Pokemon, with the possible exception of certain massive energies creating a Steel type Delta. 
Delta Pokemon can be stronger or weaker than their counterparts; they can even be the same typing as their counterpart!
Most Deltas shift only one of their two types in Creshire, with some exceptions. In other regions, you yourself have observed that many Pokemon have both types shifted (Delta Metagross, Bulbasaur, Snorlax). 
The most common Delta Pokemon in Creshire is a Fighting Type Delta Buneary.

According to science, there's nothing inherently wrong with being a Delta Pokemon, though there are many superstitions about them and some are unpleasant typings like Ghost or Poison. The Deltas in Holon are subject to further mutation, which is a scientifically proven health issue.

There's also a mention of Delta Incense, but the book doesn't say what that is.
