EuroTek.08 Speaker Dr Simon Mitchell ( Dr Mitchells EuroTek presentation Information)

At Oztek 2007 people were turned away from Dr Mitchells presentations simply because there was not enough room for everyone who wanted to see him speak. Simon is one of the southern hemisheres leading speakers in the field scientific diving physology amied at deep Techincal divers.

Simon Mitchell began diving in 1972 at the age of 14. His diving career has subsequently included more than 6000 dives spanning many disciplines including sport, scientific, commercial, and military diving. In recent years his diving interests have focussed on photography and visiting deep wrecks using a Mk15.5 closed circuit rebreather. Simon maintains this active participation in deep diving first, because he loves it and second, because he believes that comprehensive understanding of the process and complete credibility with other divers in his educational interactions requires such participation. Over recent years he has been a lead member of teams that were the first to dive and identify 3 deep wrecks of high historical significance in Australia and New Zealand. At the time of one of these dives (2002) the 180m depth represented the deepest wreck dive to date.

Simon changed career paths from marine biology to medicine in the 1980s, completing his medical degree, post graduate Diplomas in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine and Occupational Medicine, a PhD in which he researched embolic brain injury, and most recently, his specialist qualifications in anaesthesiology. He trained in diving medicine with the Royal New Zealand Navy between 1992 and 1998, and then spent 4 years in Brisbane, Australia as medical director of the Wesley Centre for Hyperbaric Medicine. Over this period he treated over 400 cases of decompression sickness. He was a foundation recipient of Certification in Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine from the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists in 2003.

Simon has more than 45 papers in the international medical literature, and recently co-authored the second edition of “Deeper into Diving” with John Lippmann. He has 2 chapters on decompression sickness in the most recent edition of Bennett and Elliott and has been invited to author a new chapter on technical diving for the next edition of this text.
