	HI Everyone!

	I guess it's the new guys time to introduce himself:

	Name: Tim Olson

	I've recently discovered the internet, and have subsequently
	subscribed to the techdiver postings.  It really looks like
	a great way for people to communicate information, and pick
	up a few tips along the way.  

	To give you a little background info. I am a current PADI
	instructor (now I know this doesn't mean much to fellow
	tekkies, but still, it's what I do) and also a Dive store
	owner.  I have been enjoying progressively more complicated
	Mixed Gas dives for the last 2 years, and spend much of my free 
	time either doing recovery dives, or diving Lake Superior's many
	shipwrecks.  I am at home as much underwater in 0 vis. as I am
	above water.  Although I thouroughly encourage professional training
	in all areas of diving, I do not as of yet hold any technical
	certifications.  I do, however, spend much of my time learning
	as much as I can about these areas of diving, because I believe
	that it is only through knowledge and experience, that divers
	will remain "safe".

	enough to have my fills spectrum analyzed by a friend at the local
	hospital so far, but want some portability)

	When it comes to gear, I use the following:
	AGA Masks, Poseidon Regs, OMS tanks, and Nokia Drysuits 
	on most every dive.
	I am very happy with them (for anyone interested), but am also
	interested in the popular opinion of everyone else, and any input
	as to new products available.

	Well, that's about enough for now.  If anyone wishes to write,
	my current E-Mail address is [wolfmk@cn*.uw*.ed*]  I will
	be getting a different address soon.

	Keep the postings flowing!

	Tim Olson
