This afternoon another interview from our Eurotek tec-talk series went online.
Dr. Simon Mitchell
How do you introduce someone like Dr Simon Mitchell?
This man is known all over the world for his experience with diving physiology and decompression illness. An outstanding diver, with over 6000 dives in his logbook, he's still passionate about diving both from a professional standpoint as from someone whose love for the sport never dies.
Starting out as a marine biologist, Simon quickly changed his career path towards medicine and today he has a PhD in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine, having treated many cases of decompression sickness. He has written more than 45 papers in the medical literature, and has co-authored the updated version of Deeper into Diving, a must-read on decompression theories and technical diving. After his training with the New Zealand Navy and supervising the Centre for Hyperbaric Medicine, he recently specialised in anaestesiology.
One of the topics we wanted to cover with Simon was CO2 retention. During the interview Dr Mitchell discusses the danger of CO2 and how it can be recognized or even avoided. Simon also gives his opinion about another obscure phenomena that made some highlights on the net recently, the off-effect.
