Multilevel 1.6

7. The Author of Multilevel

Dr. Jürgen Bohnert (born in 1969) is an active caver since 1983. He is a member of Höhlenforschungsgruppe Ostalb/Kirchheim, a very active caving club in South-West Germany, which was founded in 1973. Since 1987 he is involved in the exploration of submerged caves all over Europe. The main emphasis of his work is on underwater cave surveying and research on microbial populations in karstic aquifers. Currently he works as an M.D. at the University of Freiburg. He has been occupied with diving medicine for several years. He was able to put this profound knowdledge to good practice by using his programming experience, which provided the basis for the successful development of Multilevel. The algorithm ZH-L17_TS is now becoming increasingly popular amongst extreme exposure divers since it allows for an easy empirical calculation of deep deco stops. His recent work led to the development of the first depth-compensated dual passive addition rebreather BK2 which is fully mechanical and is now frequently being used for longer cave dives.
