Background of the people behind the Uemis SDA

[Michael Gerhartz]

Although the Uemis SDA is a relatively new items ( introduced to the North American Market on Dema 2009 ), the people behind Uemis are not the "new kids on the block" when it comes down to developing dive computers. Since I still hear many comments like "oh, they are new, they don't know what they are doing", I thought I publish some of their accomplishments in the development on dive computer.
