EuroTek 2008 life time achievement award
A life time achievement award
An individual who you admire for their consistent contributions
or discoveries that have advanced or opened up the field of
Technical Diving
The winner of the 2008 life time
achievement award went to Kevin Gurr and VR
Technology Ltd for contributing to Technical Diving over the
years..
Kevin is the designer of the Ouroboros and sentinel closed
circuit rebreathers as well as the popular VR3 mixed gas dive
computers which are worn by most technical divers today.
This award was presented to
Kevin Gurr who has contributed a huge amount to Technical
Diving over the years. Kevin was there at the very beginning
of technical diving especially as it swept through Europe
in the early 1990's.
The EuroTek 08 life time achievement award went to
a man who has organised conferences himself that many
EuroTek delegates may well have been to. He was the
first technical diving instructor outside of the United
States and is someone who at some stage has, at one
time or another taught many a course in technical diving
to people reading this.
Kevin has led milestone expeditions written extensively
on the subject of Tek diving and lectured at many dive
shows and conferences around the world.

Kevin is a person who excels as a marine engineer and has helped
to design several pieces of equipment we now consider as standard
in technical diving. His involvement with early rebreather systems
led to producing the worlds first mixed gas dive computer, the
VR3.
