Steve Burton - Mermaid's Technical Director Since the early 80's,
Steve Burton (Mermaid PADI CDC Technical diving, dive equipment and engineering
specialist) has been scuba diving and
teaching more than a 1,000 students Steve drifted towards the number one love in
his life – that of deep shipwreck exploration. In researching the techniques to explore ever deeper shipwrecks, since the mid 90's Steve has devoted his life to encouraging a better understanding of decompression phenomena and develop safer techniques for carrying out the diving worlds most dangerous activity – that of ultra deep Trimix decompression diving. Steve’s investigations have lead to the introduction of a new, safer method of carrying out decompression dives by following a ‘The Combined Decompression Model’ CDM-18 that accurately identifies flaws in previous decompression dive time / depth profiles and gas selection choices. A key feature of the CDM-18 being lower decompression stress and a new gas switching protocol that prevents the decompression diver suffering debilitating type III DCS hits during gas switches from Tri-mix to Nitrox. The man is a shear genius and legend in his field and you will be rubbing shoulders with him daily. Recent successes of Steve’s work include the development of the dive profile for the 313meters/1030ft world record deepest ever scuba dive by UK diver Mark Ellyatt, plus the development of the dive profile for the World record ‘Deepest ever wreck dive’ by Rob Lalumiere.
