Earlier this year a team led by Associate Professor
Simon J Mitchell published a research paper comparing two types of carbon dioxide absorbent, or sorb. This research doesn't sound that sexy, but to advanced and technical divers, it was a very useful piece of safety research. This research was funded by
Shearwater Research.
Advanced and tech divers have a lot of questions they need answering. This year the funds raised at the EUROTEK Raffle will be donated to Dr Simon Mitchell (Head of Anaesthesiology, School of Medicine, Auckland University) and Dr Neal W Pollock (Research Associate, Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology, Duke University) for research. Gavin Anthony will oversee the use of the funds.
Their remit is that these monies should be used to fund research specifically for the benefit of the worldwide advanced and tech diving community. This research will be disseminated so that every diver has access to it.
Tickets are GB£5.00 each or you can buy five tickets for GB£20.00.
Tickets will also be available for cash on Saturday 8th October 2016 at The ICC, Birmingham and at the EUROTEK Gala Award Dinner later that day.
