Prof. Michael H. Bennett passed away

We recently received the sad news that Prof. Mike Bennett passed away unexpectedly at the age of 67. Mike, former president of the SPUMS and great liaison between SPUMS and EUBS, but better known to many of you as a teacher in the SHF course in the Philippines and co-author of the standard work in diving medicine "Diving and Subaquatic Medicine". Mike was a lively and friendly personality. He will be sorely missed. Our condolences go out to his wife and friends.
