Hans Hass was not only a major early diving pioneer, but also the inventor
of the first practical digital dive computer for recreational divers. That
alone should be worth an award.

Cheers!

Dear everybody

Regarding records in diving: Hans Hass is still alive (Lotte Hass too,
as far as I know). Here is a link to a story about his ninety years
birthday earlier in 2009:

Hans should be given an award anyway from all of us for paving the
underwaterway together with Costeau.

Cheers and happy holidays to everyone, from Mike in Copenhagen
