NORTH Vancouver resident Phil Nuytten was among 40 distinguished individuals recently inducted into the College of Fellows, the voting body of The Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
According to a written statement, the nominees were inducted into the College at the 2011 annual general meeting Nov. 3 in Ottawa, Ont.
Nuytten, a pioneer in the diving industry, is the founder of the undersea and diving technology companies Nuytco and Can-Dive. His technology has enabled divers to make safer, longer-length expeditions at full continental shelf depths. Also, his submarine rescue system Remora is a standard in almost a dozen navies worldwide.
