Self Contained Diving continued EDITORIAL We are extremely pleased to announce the appointment of Divers Alert Network (DAN) founder Dr. Peter B. Bennett to our Advisory Board. Dr. Bennett has a long and distinguished career in diving medicine and a brief review of his achievements can be found on page 5. We all look forward to a historic relationship with DAN, who, like the HDSUSA, is a non profit corporation. The Board of Directors would like to acknowledge DHS ASEA President Bob Ramsay for his support and assistance with Dr. Bennett's appointment. The announcement in the last issue that our Advisory Board members Prof. Hans and Lotte Hass were returning to America prompted several members to contact us with questions on their early career. Although Michael Jung had delivered an excellent article on this very subject in HISTORICAL DIVER #9 it became clear that some people were confused as to how Hans' early career compared to that of Jacques Yves Cousteau, whose exploits are more familiar to American divers. Therefore we decided to publish a brief time line of the early careers (as we currently have them recorded) of Cousteau and Hass to present a clearer picture of what was happening approximately 60 years ago. This has caused a rescheduling of some articles which will be delayed an issue or so. We did not receive James Forte's Secretary's Notebook column in time for inclussion but James confirms that there are several interesting projects that are under consideration by the Board. One that will be of interest is the return of the French Rouquayrol Denayrouze apparatus to DEMA at New Orleans in January. Discussions with Lucien Cabrolie and Philippe Rousseau are also underway which may result in them bringing working examples of the Le Prieur front mounted scuba of the 1930's and also a Cousteau Gagnan production unit from 1945. DEMA is not a consumer show. It is a trade only show. First time trade attendees have called the show a "Divers Disneyland," and it is possible that everyone may soon be able to get into this diver's magic kingdom. DEMA is currently considering a proposal to allow consumers into the show for one day on a trial basis. We expect to have details on this proposal by the next issue. We look forward to seeing you at the Film Festival in Santa Barbara in September!

The Award has only been presented to twelve people during the last forty years. The Award is named in honor of the late Conrad (Connie) Limbaugh, Chief Diving Officer of Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Connie pioneered the first instructional diving programs and helped to found the L.A. County Program, which is the oldest diving instructional program in the U.S. Nick's Award culminates a fifty year career in the diving field, having been the first Executive Director of PADI, Program Director of NASDS, and Project Director of NAUI as well as a design engineer and chief engineer for most of the major diving manufactur­ ers. He has been the past recipient of two NOGIAwards from the Academy of Underwa­ ter Arts and Science, the Outstanding Underwater Instructor Award from the L.A.

  • May 2021 Newsletter Update
    On March 10th, the FSU Great Give generated over $5,500 for the new FSUCML Diving Scholarship. In addition to funding generated through the Great Give, PADI, Aqua Lung and Divers Alert Network will provide support for the scholarship recipients in the form of certification materials, equipment, and diving accident insurance. A panel will be selecting the 2021 recipient this fall from a pool of deserving research-focused students. Preference will be given to students from historically underrepresented groups. If you know of someone that might be interested, please encourage them to apply. Summer research diving is underway with divers operating out of the FSU Marine Lab, the Florida Keys, and the Caribbean. The McCoy Lab began diving this week in Bonaire, becoming the first FSU dive team to work internationally since the Pandemic began. All divers using equipment from the Academic Diving Program will be using new Aqua Lung regulators. With funding provided by the Office of Research, ADP purchased twenty new Aqua Lung Core regulators with in-line i300C computers. Three new BARE dry suits and ten new Aqua Lung BCDs were also acquired including new Aqua Lung Soul BCDs - the first BCD in the dive locker that is designed for women. The 2021 Introduction to Scientific Diving course concluded on April 17th with divers-in-training punctuating their semester long training on a charter aboard the R/V Apalachee to K-Tower. This semester marked the first class to be taught as a credit course since 2017. Twelve divers successfully completed their AAUS certifications. The next training class is scheduled for spring 2022.

  • Nasjonalt Handlingsprogram Med Retningslinjer for Diagnostikk, Behandling Og Oppfølging Av Prostatakreft UTKAST
    IS-1594IS- [XXXX] Nasjonalt handlingsprogrammedretningslinjerfordiagnostikk, behandling ogoppfølgingavprostatakreft UTKAST 2 Forord Mange medisinske faggrupper har i en årrekke lagt ned et betydelig arbeid for å komme frem til konsensusbaserte faglige anbefalinger for diagnostikk og behandling av ulike typer kreft. Faggruppenes anbefalinger har til nå manglet offisiell status, men har likevel dannet grunnstammen for tilbudet ved sykehusene. Som ledd i Nasjonal strategi for kreftområdet (2006-2009) fikk Helsedirektoratet i oppdrag å videreutvikle og oppdatere faggruppenes anbefalinger til nasjonale handlingsprogrammer for kreftbehandling, i nært samarbeid med fagmiljøene, de regionale helseforetakene, Nasjonalt kunnskapssenter for helsetjenesten, og andre relevante myndigheter. På denne måten vil de nye handlingsprogrammene fra Helsedirektoratet representere en videreføring og en formalisering av faggruppenes anbefalinger. Som ledd i videreutviklingen er det også utarbeidet et forslag til organisering av kontinuerlig oppdatering av handlingsprogrammene, herunder tidlig varsling av ny teknologi og metoder. Nasjonale handlingsprogrammer for kreftbehandling skal bidra til at det offentlige tilbudet i kreftomsorgen blir av god kvalitet og likeverdig over hele landet. Disse Nasjonale retningslinjene for diagnostikk, behandling og oppfølging av prostatakreft er en del av Nasjonalt handlingsprogram for prostatakreft. Målgrupper for retningslinjene er spesialister innen medisin, kirurgi, onkologi, radiologi og patologi. De vil også være av interesse

By way of catching up, we have produced a Summer double issue and have the good fortune to be able to publish with a color cover. Coinciding with the Santa Barbara relocation is the appointment, by the Board of Directors, of the first members of the HDS USA Advisory Board. This distinguished group of senior diving professionals, with extensive backgrounds in diving medicine, technical development, commercial, military and sports diving, bring in excess of 300 years of diving experience to the Society. Most of their biographies are the size of town phone directories, and have had to be severely edited for publication. We are honored and gratefulfortheir willing offers of service, and hope that we have done their biographies justice. Details start on page 4. The recently introduced, Founding Benefactor class of membership has proven to be very popular with over half of the thirty available memberships already taken. An opportunity still exists to acquire one of these unique memberships and details of it's benefits are noted on page 9. On the international front, the ongoing formation of the HDS USA as a nonprofit corporation has, by law, changed the conditions that govern our relationship with the HDS in UK.
