I'm halfway through a PhD at the University of Western Australia, researching risk factors for DCS.
There is a scheme at my University to bring outstanding researchers to Western Australia for a month or two. Full details are at http://www.raine.uwa.edu.au/fellowships/raine-international-visiting-research-fellowship-scheme/
The value of each Fellowship consists of a return economy airfare up to AUD$3,000, plus a daily allowance. Nominees shall be of a high academic standing and shall normally be in the early stages of their postdoctoral research career. They shall have demonstrated original concepts, skills or techniques in their chosen research field and have a proven outstanding publication record as first author.
If that sounds like you then send me an e-mail. I'll pick you up at the airport, get you sorted with somewhere to stay and whatnot, and lend you a full set of dive gear while you're here. The best time of year is between December and March, with January and February like the Bahamas, (great viz and balmy evenings), but with fabulous vineyards, uniquely Australian wildlife and some of the best cave-diving in the world.
