I started scubadiving in la Réunion, when since have passed the 2nd level diver (CMAS) at Grenoble University, 3rd level at Brest and PS1 (Cave Diving) with the CRPS AURA. I’m actually working on my PS2 level, once I’ve been clear from my first diving accident (bent that’s healing).
At the time of writing this page, I have more than 70 dives in Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Indian ocean and Atlantic Ocean (Brest) waters. I dived few times in lake (Bourget) and in underground water (Bourg St Andreol). I recently visited a lot of wrecks near Brest. As a biologist I can’t dive without taking a lot of time to look for small invertebrates or even algae ^^
I’m working on a cool way to display my divebook with map and some stats, but it’s mean less time underwater.
I aim at learning more technical diving skills to maybe one day work as a biologist diver or just to explore other barely seen places.
I started to study scuba-diving teaching in parallel of the preparation of my third level at Université Grenoble Alpes. In this context I learned a lot about teaching physical and technical skills to other student.
It also helped me to work more on my personal skill, to demonstrate perfect technique in a 2m pool. It’s a good training and also an opportunity to try other diving styles such as sport diving.
As the University developed a great online platform to learn diving theory, I started to code simple diving algorithms in R to understand a bit more about dive planification, air consumption and gas saturation. However my accident gave me a second look on this and keep in mind that these algorithms are models and imperfect by nature.
All the code is on a Github repository and I hope to put this R package on CRAN one day !
Because I support open-source and love teaching, I was working on a project to use my code with the university students.
This could be done with a shiny application using my R package. It’s my very first shiny application and I hope to build it for a long time, because I have many ideas !
Be patient, it’s loading the first time…use this time to make a good tea ;)
Again, the code is on a Github repository, feel free to report anything that seem usefull !
