 Medicine to the Commanding Officer, Naval Ship Research 

 Laboratory, Panama City, Fla.

Three additional physicians acted in an advisory capacity to the Board: 



1. Robert Workman, M.D., Medical Director, Taylor Diving Co., 

 Belle Chase, La. 



2. Tor Richter, CAPT, MC, USN, Commanding Officer, Naval Medi- 

 cal Research Institute, Bethesda, Md. 



3. Thomas Markham, CDR, MC, USN, Senior Medical Officer in 

 the TEKTITE I program; Naval Submarine Medical Center, 

 New London, Conn. 



The Board's function was to advise the TEKTITE Program Manager and the TEKTITE 

 Safety Review Board on appropriate medical procedures to be adhered to in both 

 the 50- and 100-ft dives, particularly with respect to decompression, and to 

 evaluate the suitability for saturation diving of any aquanaut applicant whose 

 physiological qualifications might be questionable. 



The Board met four times prior to the beginning of the project, primarily to 

 take action on matters pertinent to the 50-ft missions. It met five times 

 afterwards (once by conference call), these meetings having been convened in 

 connection with efforts to launch the series of Minitat dives. 



Medical Staff in the Virgin Islands 



The nucleus of medical support for Project TEKTITE II was formed by Dr. Beckman, 

 the Medical Director, and Dr. Masson, who served both as Deputy Medical Director 

 and Medical Director of the 50-ft program and of the TEKTITE base camp on 

 St. John islando Both doctors remained on site for the duration of the project. 

 Additional medical coverage was provided by seven physicians from the USPHS 

 (specifically, from the Federal Health Programs Service) and seven from the UT 

 Medical Branch. These doctors served on a rotating basis for periods of two 

 to six or seven weeks. 



In addition to the UT and USPHS doctors, specialists in diving physiology from 

 other institutions participated in the project on a voluntary basis, prompted 

 by the unique training opportunities it offered in the field of hyperbaric 

 medicine.
