I recently added onto wikipedia some short articles relating to certain famous scuba divers (for anyone who has been living in a cave, Wikipedia is the onnline encyclopedia anyone can edit - just click "edit this page" and add, delete, correct or embellish as appropriate).
However, I don't actually know much about many of them, so the articles are really bare bones. I suspect that a great many people on scuba board know more about these people, and some may well even know (or have known) them personally.
If anyone would like to contribute, the articles are at:
- Nuno Gomes (diver) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Pascal Bernabé - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- David Shaw (diver) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- John Bennett (diver) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Jim Bowden (diver) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Gary Gentile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I also noticed that the article on Sheck Exley is looking a little short, and the great man's article could certainly do with some more material.

There is also no article on Mark Ellyatt, largely because I couldn't scrape together enough information even to start a stub (there appears to be some controversy about whether he ever set a world depth record or not, but I can't seem to get to the bottom of it), but I suspect that, controversial figure that he is, he probably deserves his own article at some point.
Anyone who would like to contribute more generally, the Wikipedia:WikiProject SCUBA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia can always use some more help from experts and amateurs alike.
