HISTORICAL DIVER No.ll Spring 1997 3 FRO~I THE EXECFI'I\ E DIRECTOR Dear Member, The last year has seen a tremendous amount of growth in the Society and it has been fairly difficult for us at the office to keep up with events. With membership now nearing 900, the increasing flow of mail, faxes, telephone calls and E-mail has out stripped our limited resources. We have been dealing with "emergency only" situations and hence there is a backlog of routine mail and correspondence that we are still trying to service. In response to this rapid expansion the Board of Directors has initiated a policy where by its members volunteer to take over certain tasks previously administered by some of the Society Officers. A committee to oversee the acquisition of pertinent historical publications and related items has been established and is chaired by Don Barthelmess. An Exhibits Committee chaired by Steve Chaparro has been active for some time as have the Finance Committee and Planning Committee . The actual day to day affairs of the Society are still run by the Officers, and administered by the Execu­ tive Committee who meet once a month. Full Board meetings are held quarterly. This redistribution of Society duties will be accompanied by the relocating of the Society office from my house, where it has been operating since it was founded in 1992, to professional business quarters. We have also retained, on a trial basis, a mailing service to deal with all out going mail. There will no doubt be more changes in the near future. All these changes are a necessary part of our growth and we are all working to try and make a better Society for all members. We all look forward to a historic future with you. Thank you for your continued support. Sincerely, Leslie Leaney Executive Director NE\\ 1\IEI\IBERS The Board of Directors wish to extend their thanks to the following new members for their support, and welcome them to the Society.

  • Scuba Diving History
    Scuba diving history Scuba history from a diving bell developed by Guglielmo de Loreno in 1535 up to John Bennett’s dive in the Philippines to amazing 308 meter in 2001 and much more… Humans have been diving since man was required to collect food from the sea. The need for air and protection under water was obvious. Let us find out how mankind conquered the sea in the quest to discover the beauty of the under water world. 1535 – A diving bell was developed by Guglielmo de Loreno. 1650 – Guericke developed the first air pump. 1667 – Robert Boyle observes the decompression sickness or “the bends”. After decompression of a snake he noticed gas bubbles in the eyes of a snake. 1691 – Another diving bell a weighted barrels, connected with an air pipe to the surface, was patented by Edmund Halley. 1715 – John Lethbridge built an underwater cylinder that was supplied via an air pipe from the surface with compressed air. To prevent the water from entering the cylinder, greased leather connections were integrated at the cylinder for the operators arms. 1776 – The first submarine was used for a military attack. 1826 – Charles Anthony and John Deane patented a helmet for fire fighters. This helmet was used for diving too. This first version was not fitted to the diving suit. The helmet was attached to the body of the diver with straps and air was supplied from the surfa 1837 – Augustus Siebe sealed the diving helmet of the Deane brothers’ to a watertight diving suit and became the standard for many dive expeditions.

  • RCN DIVING BRANCH HISTORY – Part One by Chuck Rolfe – 2014
    RCN DIVING BRANCH HISTORY – Part One By Chuck Rolfe – 2014 Prior to the early 1950’s, all diving in the Royal Canadian Navy(RCN) was conducted using Standard Dress(Hardhat/Mk 5 helmet)equipment, with Navy Divers(DV) being trained by the Royal Navy(RN) at Whale Island in Portsmouth Harbour, England. Volunteers of Men from the RCN came from various Trades within the Navy and, when trained as DV’s, wore a small hardhat badge on their right sleeve, six inches up from the cuff. He would then be employed as a Diver or, returned to be employed in his primary Trade, with the proviso that he may be called upon to complete any diving tasks required. The earliest date I could locate for Divers being employed in Canada, was from an article from the 1992 Old Farmer’s Almanac “The Morning That Halifax Was Blown to Smithereens” and in a book “A Thousand Brave Canadians”, which stated there were two Divers in the water, an RCN Chief Master‐at‐Arms(MAA) supervising and six men manning the handpumps. After the explosion, the MAA, both Divers and one RN(R) AB Newfoundlander on the handpump were living, while five handpumpers had expired. The Chief MAA was awarded the MBE, while the AB Newfoundlander was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal(Naval). This largest man‐made explosion(prior to the Atom Bomb)was caused by the Norwegian steamer IMO crashing into the French munitions ship MONT BLANC in the Halifax Harbour narrows on 6 December 1917. During World War Two(WW II), from 1939 to 1945, most of the training of RCN Divers was conducted on both the East and West Coasts of Canada, although some Officers continued training in Portsmouth, England.
