User:Rosemary E Lunn/Lamar Hires
Lamar Hires is a North American pioneering technical diver and record setting cave diver.[1] Hires is one of the main architects behind the side mount diving system of diving.
Born in Edmonton, Canada, he completed a bachelor's degree in zoology, the first three years at University of Alberta and the final year at the University of British Columbia. After completing a Master's degree he served as diving officer at the University of British Columbia for almost five years. He then moved to Florida and completed a doctorate in exercise physiology/environmental physiology at Florida State University.[2]
