  • Shots, Uses, Deployment and Recovery
    SHOTS AND DECOMPRESSION RIGS – CONSTRUCTION, DEPLOYMENT AND RECOVERY SHOT USE AND CONSTRUCTION A shot offers the simplest and most direct route from the surface to the seabed. In it’s simplest form is consists of a buoy, line and weight. The buoyancy of the buoy should be sufficient to support the weight. The shot line should be of sufficient strength to support the shot weight, long enough to reach the seabed and be sufficiently thick to aid recovery. Once deployed the shot also offers a surface reference point or datum point from which searches may be conducted. A shot line in some form also offers a stable platform for decompression stops. It is possible to use a boat’s anchor as a shot line however this has several drawbacks. Firstly a cover boat should be mobile at all times. The datum line will not be vertical and the line will alter with the movement of the boat. If the site is environmentally sensitive it may be inadvisable to anchor. As a result of the nature of shot construction it can be seen that the shot line must always be significantly longer than the proposed depth. Once the shot is deployed the excess line will form an angle to the seabed in a current or offer potential entanglement in slack water. There are several ways of tensioning a shot line. Top Tensioned Shot This shot will adjust with the rise and fall of the tide and offers a near vertical descent and ascent. However this configuration is not ideal in strong current or wind.

  • 2012-13 Swimming Rules Book
    2012-13 NFHS SWIMMING & DIVING AND WATER POLO ® RULES BOOK ROBERT B. GARDNER, Publisher Becky Oakes, Editor NFHS Publications To maintain the sound traditions of this sport, encourage sportsmanship and minimize the inherent risk of injury, the National Federation of State High School Associations writes playing rules for varsity competition among student-athletes of high school age. High school coaches, officials and administrators who have knowledge and experience regarding this particular sport and age group volunteer their time to serve on the rules committee. Member associations of the NFHS independently make decisions regarding compliance with or modification of these playing rules for the student-athletes in their respective states. NFHS rules are used by education-based and non-education-based organizations serving children of varying skill levels who are of high school age and younger. In order to make NFHS rules skill-level and age-level appropriate, the rules may be modified by any orga- nization that chooses to use them. Except as may be specifically noted in this rules book, the NFHS makes no recommendation about the nature or extent of the modifications that may be appropriate for children who are younger or less skilled than high school varsity athletes.

  • Shallow-Water Messenger-Line Recovery System
    Shallow-Water Messenger-Line Recovery System Albert J. Williams 3rd and Archie T. Morrison III Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, MA 02543 USA Abstract - Shelf and estuarine deployments of bottom mounted instruments generally require complete recovery of the Recovery of bottom tripods in shelf and coastal instrument, including anchors. Subsurface instruments may waters presents a greater problem than recovery of these have lift lines for recovery, often on acoustically commanded tripods in the deep sea. Lift lines are impractical at depths release of a float. The lift line and float are large for heavy greater than several hundred meters but bottom fishing by instruments and this creates a flow disturbance that distorts the dragging is not a problem at these depths, so we have environment being measured. When redundancy in recovery lines is added, the volume of lines and floats may become jettisoned weighted tripod bases to recover tripods in the deep unacceptable. Light weight messenger lines with small sea, leaving about 180 kg (400 lb) of iron structure on the messenger floats are less flow disturbing and can be added to bottom. The tripod floats to the surface with 45 kg (100 lb) provide redundancy with less compromise to the measurement. of net buoyancy produced by glass balls or syntactic foam A set of four messenger lines with floats was used in floats. In about forty tripod deployments at depths from 600 the Hudson River in 1995 to recover a massive quadrapod m to 5000 m, only one tripod was lost (acoustic relocation deployed on the bottom for several weeks.
