This is a unique and comprehensive summary of world wide development in this field. It is probably not realised what a vital part closed circuit breathing apparatus played in World War II. Apart from escapes from damaged and sunken submarines by means of the DSEA, and the special attacks on ships by human torpedoes and X-craft, including the mortal damage to the "Tirpitz", an important part of the invasion forces were the landing craft obstruction clearance units. These were special teams of frogmen in oxygen breathing sets who placed demolition charges on the formidable underwater obstructions along the north coast of France.

Coinciding with the Santa Barbara relocation is the appointment, by the Board of Directors, of the first members of the HDS USA Advisory Board.

Most of their biographies are the size of town phone directories, and have had to be severely edited for publication. We are honored and gratefulfortheir willing offers of service, and hope that we have done their biographies justice. Details start on page 4. The recently introduced, Founding Benefactor class of membership has proven to be very popular with over half of the thirty available memberships already taken. An opportunity still exists to acquire one of these unique memberships and details of it's benefits are noted on page 9.

  • The Blue Plaque Augustus Siebe Nick Rennison
    The Blue Plaque Augustus Siebe Nick Rennison The 'closed' diving helmet revolutionised diving by allowing the diver to remain underwater for longer and to dive deeper. Many of the great engineering projects of the Victorian era could not have been carried out without the work of divers, and they could not have done their work without the 'closed' helmet. It was invented by a German, Augustus Siebe, who lived and worked in Denmark Street, WC2 for nearly half a century. Siebe was born in Prussia in 1788 and had served as an artillery officer in the Prussian army against Napoleon, being wounded at the Battle of Lepzig in 1813. After the defeat of Napoleon he worked as a watchmaker before moving to London in the year after Waterloo. After living first in High Holborn, Siebe moved to Denmark Street in 1828 and it was there, twelve years later, that he designed his revolutionary ‘closed’ helmet. One of the first opportunities to show how effective Siebe's new helmet was came in the 1840s when divers descended into the waters off Spithead to investigate the wreck of the Royal George, a ship which had sunk there sixty years earlier. The helmet proved so successful that the same basic design was being used by the Royal Navy more than a century later. A man of great ingenuity and inventiveness, Siebe created many other machines at his workshop in Denmark Street, including a weighing machine, a paper-making machine and an ice–making machine. At the Great Exhibition of 1851, he won several medals for his inventions.

  • Heinke Delta Dry Suit
    Heinke Delta Suit Historical C. E. Heinke & Co. Ltd of London was an old-established manufacturer of standard diving apparatus. In 1961, Siebe Gorman took the company over and “for a short while, Diving equipment was given ‘Siebe-Heinke’ tags but eventually the name completely disappeared” (Diving Heritage, 2000). Suits By the mid-1950s, Heinke had diversified into recreational underwater swimming equipment, including Hans Hass masks and fins. In the product range were two “underwater suits”, both made from rubber on a stockinet base: the Delta dry suit and the 4 Dolphin wet suit. Delta Suit Facts This “two-piece skin suit made of high-gloss-surfaced natural rubber proofed on to a stockinet cloth” (Kenyon, 1957, p. 26) could be worn “over a set of thin and close-fitting woollies” (Small, 1957, p. 62). The suit was designed to “keep the diver dry” (Hampton, 1955, p. 112) and to give “freedom of movement” (Heinke, n.d.). Although the suit fitted closely to the skin, thin woollen underwear could be worn underneath to provide protection against cold. The suit could be used for prolonged dives in and out of season with fins and mask, with or without underwater breathing apparatus. A jacket with neck seal and trousers with ankle seals made up the basic suit. The waist seal was held in place by a cummerbund. The full suit came with built-in hood and feet. The suit was made in up to three sizes: Small, Medium and Large. Long or short legs could be supplied to “special order at no extra charge” (Heinke, n.d.).
