Hi Boj, thanks for joining up!

What the hell, the place seems to be picking up with some interesting divers so I might as well finally introduce myself.

Name: DeWayne Hyatt, Ph.D.
Age: 48
Location: Burlington, KY (just across the river from Cincinnati)
Favorite Dive Sites: Most any cave or sump that has never been dove before (what can I say, I love tight, dark, vigin holes )
Certification Level: Cave, Trimix, Blender, Inspector, and too many more to count

Just a retired/dosabled math prof that loves to cave, be it dry or filled with water. Diving has become my rehab over the past ten years and I would hate to think what would have happened to me if it were not for diving.

Maybe physical therapy places should offer dive training and local trips as physical therapy!

I have both joked and talked serious about this with several doctors over the past ten years. Truth be told I have seen more and better pain relief from being submerged than all the opiates they have tried on me. On my last medical dive release the doc even stated that he felt diving was great for me given the amount of pain relief I was able to appreciate from it.

Since it seemed Doc prescribed, get insurance to pay for that next trip!
