I have just subscribed to the techdiver mailing list and I am posting 
this message to introduce myself.  I have been diving for 15 years 
and have an instructor certification (NASDS OWI), although I have not 
instructed for about 7 years and hope never to again.  My main 
pratical interest in techdiving is related to cave diving, I am a 
member of the Cave Diving Association of Australia (CDAA) with 
penetration diver certification and dive actively in the south east 
of South Australia and the Nullarbor plain area.  In the past I have 
been an active wreck diver while living on the east coast of the US, 
and will continue this if ever living somewhere appropriate.

Techdiver techniques related to deep diving, such as mixed gas scuba 
are in their infancy in Australia.  Some associates and I are making 
our first steps (successsful) in this area and I believe we are amongs
the first in the country, Australian readers may be able to correct 
me.  I am therefore interested in information related to cave diving 
and mixed gas (particularly trimix) scuba.

I am a physiologist working at the Department of Anaesthesia and 
Intensive Care, University of Adelaide.  I have a long standing 
interest in many aspects of Hyperbaric Medicine, particularly those 
related to decompression schedules and decompression ilness.  I am 
also a Diving Medical Technician, trained at the Hyperbaric Medicine 
Unit, Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, University of 
Adelaide.  However, my opinions and diving practices are my own, 
and are unrelated to my professional associations.
