George, Three possibilities come to mind: (1) A local hospital /cardiologist in your area or even echo technician might be willing to help. They could also contact the equipment manufacturer for support with the long cord etc. (2) DAN is training Field Research Coordinators all over the US in the next few months. This is to help in their Project Dive Safety/Doppler collection of 1 million dive profiles by the year 2000. I note that there is a class in West Palm Beach Sept 13-15. Call (919) 684-2948 for further info. (3) Some clown like me could be lowered into your habitat (Androcles & the Lion) and offer tests for various medical stuff. Clearly option 2 is the best, if DAN will take you up on it. Good data needs experienced collectors. I'd be happy to get trained as an FRC (sounds like another guild, guys!), but my guess is that there already are divers with the expertise who live in your area. There are two reasons why your data would be relevant to the DAN project: You're at the edge of diving profiles and I bet they don't pick up many bubbles in most people who are diving and participate in their program. That's why they need a million profiles and after you've surfaced post your 9(?) hour deco party, it's not surprising that all the bubbles are flat. But even if they didn't find any bubbles, checking for right to left blood flow in someone who is in the water under several ATMs, has not been done before, to my knowledge. Give them a call at the number above and see what they say. On Wed, 24 Jul 1996 gmiiii@in*.co* wrote: > Peter, if yo could arrange that, we can get it down there and do it.
