Congratulations, Francois Burman! No one deserves this recognition more. 🎉

Congratulations to DAN’s Director of Risk Mitigation, Francois Burman, Pr. Eng, MSc, for receiving this year’s UHMS Paul Sheffield Award and SAUHMA Campbell MacFarlane Trophy. Francois has dedicated his career to developing risk mitigation and safety protocols for dive centers and teaching hyperbaric chamber operators how to improve safety at their facilities. His passion for safety and commitment to divers set him apart, and we are very proud to see him honored in this way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Paul Sheffield Award is presented to an individual who has greatly contributed to and influenced the understanding of undersea and hyperbaric medicine, and the Campbell MacFarlane trophy is awarded to an individual who has made significant contributions to hyperbaric oxygen therapy in South Africa.

Rob Sheffield visited some clients/friends in Rochester, Minnesota last week. His first consulting trip since things started shutting down in March 2020.
Had some really good BBQ at Smoak in Rochester. The picture does not do it justice. Peppery dry rub (Texas style) - lots of smoke flavor - rib meat falling off the bone - juicy and tender brisket. Fudge brownie sundae for dessert.

Honoring the southern tradition of blackeyed peas on New Year's Day, which is supposed to bring good luck. I didn't have them a year ago, and see what happened?
Looking forward to our first hyperbaric course of the year on Jan 4th, followed by our first safety course of the year on Jan 11th. Doing all our courses over zoom for now.
