Thanks for everyone's interest, 17 international candidates expressed interest, from a wide range of backgrounds, and an offer to formally apply has been extended to the preferred candidate.

It won't, it will be a bubble-prediction algorithm. Okay, here is where we are going to build the pool. This is the bathroom next door, and then the big main chamber is on the other side of the bathroom. Here is a "robot" delivering linen (well, it is actually a self-guided delivery vehicle)...

I'm on my way there now, I'll take a snap for you. It is pretty flash. There is a full hyperbaric bathroom in the next room, with a flushing toilet, and when you need towels, anywhere in the hospital, they are delivered by robots. I'm not joking, (okay, I will get a photo of a robot delivering...

Just suppose for a minute that we did not have dive computers to predict the risk of no-DCS, mild-DCS or serious-DCS. How would we avoid DCS? Well, maybe dive nitrox to the limits of an air table, come up slowly, pad out our safety stop... That should all help. But, that sounds kinda fudgy, and...

A new PhD scholarship was announced on Monday, to study bubbles in recreational/technical divers here in beautiful Perth, Western Australia. The exact divers have not been selected yet, the fine detail will be sorted out in the first six months, as with all PhDs, but it will involve measuring...

Okay, thanks, I've got pals who can replace the battery for me. All I need now is a user manual and I'll be set.

Here it is... (not sure how to load photos on this forum).

Turns out, it may not be rechargeable and may run on a 'primary cell'. Does anyone have any suggestions where I might find a user manual for this dive computer?

This is a bit of a long-shot but I am hoping someone might have some information about the old version of the Mares Genius dive computer. I’ve attached a photo of it. In particular, I am looking for information regarding how to charge it. It was given to me while I was living in North Carolina...

Tuition-funded Health Science PhD in Australia with $27k living allowance researching bubbles in divers Interested? Please first check if you are eligible, here https://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au/research/apply/admission-criteria/ You should have a research-based Masters Degree (or an...

Yes, that is a key finding. Floating about looking at the fish is normally quite relaxing. Vacuuming the gravel floor... apparently not so. Maybe an opportunity here for those of us who don't like aerobics, but should do some sort of weekly cardio?

Oh, right, I'm at university currently so that must mean my university have paid for access to Oxford Journals. Do you have access through a university library?

Just click on the link - works for me.

Our latest diving research has just been published. It is available here: https://academic.oup.com/occmed/advance-article/doi/10.1093/occmed/kqz011/5421015 By all means, please do feel free to share, post, tweet, blog, or otherwise spread the word. As with all studies there are limitations...

Does anyone have a reasonably recent list of approved design tanks? I've just brought the last seven I didn't have time to sell from the US. They're pretty standard, Faber 3L steel for the CCR, Faber 10L steels for SM, a Luxfer DOT-3AL stage, etc. I'm confident they'll be on the list, just not...

Not quite... As it states in the paper, all the people who said they were active were asked what activity they were most active at. Then, a further question asked "What other type of physical activity gave you the next most exercise during the past month?" So, if diving and golf were the two...

My apologies, I thought I replied a couple of days ago, (maybe I didn't hit the "post" button). My thanks to all for the thoughtful comments and questions. Let me clarify a few issues. First, the survey has 300 questions but they are grouped into modules. So if, for example, the question asks...

Recreational scuba divers are not that well described. The challenge researchers face is finding a representative sample. For example, if we conduct a survey of ScubaBoard members then that might be biased towards one segment of our community, but ignore others. Same if we survey dive club...
