I live in the West Midlands, England and was born on 27 April 1952. Although I studied Natural Sciences and the Electrical Sciences Tripos, I only worked for a year in the Electronics industry before becoming a teacher. After 24 years of teaching in Secondary schools (11-18+), I have spent my time since 1997 working on IT-related projects.
My main hobby is Scuba diving and I've been involved in instruction of recreational diving for well over 20 years to date as an SAA National Instructor.
Having looked at the Wikipedia articles on Scuba and related topics, I felt obliged to create an account to take part in improving the topic to the best of my abilities.

Things to do
- Recruit more active editors for WikiProject SCUBA
- Diving regulator - still needs to distinguish between performance delta with depth and perf delta with cylinder press; ++ a lot more
- Diving cylinder - needs a US version of the breathing time calc
Nitrogen narcosis - may need to delete "acclimation" & "breathing techniques"- Scuba diving - proof-read again - there's a problem with organisation of sections
Find how to include pic without breaking the section in Diving cylinderEar clearing - expand - names of manoeuvres- Scuba set - Air cylinders
- Diving suits - how they work
Ear clearing - sourcesIsobaric counterdiffusion - fix the ambient pressure link when it arrives in Wiktionary as wikt:ambient pressureOxygen toxicity - revisit to copyedit as suggested by the GA reviewHyperoxia - rewrite in sub-page User:RexxS/Hyperoxia- Diving club - create over redirect
Diving center - create- Cold water diving - create

Geogre
Geogre was among the finest editors Wikipedia has known.
It seems to me a real pity that we don't do more to celebrate his contributions.
Instead the system tends to eradicate them by erosion. To me it is as if we had decided to place Michelangelo's David outside a factory in the acid rain.
It is, in some ways, worse to see how the author himself is being turned into a 'non-person'. The damnatio memoriae of Geogre is no more apparent than in this FfD.
