Hi list... As customary for new entries, I greet all You and spend few self-introductory words. I am Italian and live in Rome; needless to say, I am a very avid diver. As for my background, I am ph.d. in engineering; on an hand my interests lie mainly in cave and wreck diving. On the other hand, I am very interested in deco modeling since when I started using trimix there were no planners available. I had to calculate tables by myself; surprisingly (as for me), the interest in this field and those related (physiology and so on) grew and now I am still very entangled in the above topics. All this is not for saying that I keep in the corner all the practical aspects of diving! As for certifications, the one I am most "proud" for, is assistant instructor of the "Italian school for cave diving"; this is due mainly to my love for spelaeology and mountaineering also (climbing and so on...). Truly, I think that the most extraordinary things happen always when mixing disparate and apparently unrelated components, in this case earth and water. As for diving, central Italy is not the best place in some respects. There are few ready-to-dive wrecks and the most beautiful and impressing caves are in the north and in Sardinia (both about 300 miles far from home!). In any case, many sites are still worth the visit and the key for happiness is to be satisfied with the available... A "technical note" for ending. I understand that my English is extremely clumsy, since I speak it seldom and I had to learn by myself only in its written form (papers and articles). I apologize for this and hope to be understandable beyond the obvious problems that every non-naive speaker is likely to experience. I am convinced that mailing lists are important means to "grow", and I am happy for being here. I hope to find new friends (and I greet some old friends since I know they are here) and, again, heartily greetings to all the members. I hope to be welcome. regards Corrado Bonuccelli corradob@al*.it* ICQ#25934110 -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
