In 2005, Rubicon was tasked with scanning the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society Workshop collection. We needed a new computer and more external storage to take on an undertaking of this size and the Divers Alert Network stepped in with the needed equipment to complete the scanning in memory of Dr. Ed Thalmann. Several of us on this board were lucky enough to have worked with Dr. Thalmann and we feel this is a great way to remember him for his MASSIVE contributions to our field.

Several of these workshops have been included in the Rubicon Research Repository (RRR) for some time however many were not due to copyright restrictions. I am VERY pleased to inform you that after meeting with Dr. Bennett, UHMS Executive Director, we have permission to place each of these valuable reports into the Repository. (excluding the ones that are lost or missing and Number 48 as UHMS has many of these in inventory) I have taken the liberty of highlighting titles below from the first 40 workshops that are now available. Click here to see the remaining titles. We will be adding links as we get to them.

There workshops range from 20 MB to well over 300 MB in some cases. Please be patient and allow for a significant time for download. (Server is located at my house so bandwidth could be somewhat limited) If you have trouble, please see our FAQ page.

(Now for the part I hate doing but have to ask...) If you have found this work useful, please consider a donation to support our continued growth. We started out at a time when technical divers had to search high and low to find this information and have made great strides towards making access better but we need help to continue. As little as 5 or 20 dollars can go a long way towards future growth.

Keep checking back, we are adding these workshops as fast as we can find the time to get it done.

Thanks! --The Rubicon Team
