FOG special volume: Proceedings of the 6th European Conference on Scientific Diving 2021 178 pages, 25 contributions Preface We are happy to present the proceedings from the 6th European Conference on Scientific Diving (ECSD), which took place in April 2021 as virtual meeting. The first ECSD took place in Stuttgart, Germany, in 2015. The following conferences were hosted in Kristineberg, Sweden (2016), Funchal, Madeira/Portugal (2017), Orkney, Scotland/UK (2018), and Sopot, Poland (2019), respectively. The 6th ECSD was scheduled for April 2020 but has been postponed due to the Corona pandemic by one year. In total 80 people registered and about 60 participants were online on average during the two days of the meeting (April 21 and 22, 2021). 36 talks and 15 posters were presen-ted and discussed. Some authors and co-authors took advantage of the opportunity to hand in a total of 25 extended abstracts for the proceedings published in the open access journal FOG (Freiberg Online Geoscience). The contributions are categorized into: - Device development - Scientific case studies - Aspects of training scientists to work under water The order of the contributions within these three categories is more or less arbitrary. Please enjoy browsing through the proceedings and do not hesitate to follow up ideas and questions that have been raised and triggered during the meeting. Hopefully, we will meet again in person

  • A Case Study of the SS Yongala, Andrew Viduka
    Andrew Viduka Museum of Tropical Queensland 70-102 Flinders Street Townsville QLD 4810 Ph 07 4726 0616 Fax 07 4721 2093 Email [email protected] Managing Underwater Cultural Heritage: A Case Study of the SS Yongala ABSTRACT In June 1981 the SS Yongala was gazetted as an historic shipwreck under Section 5 of the Commonwealth Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976. The Queensland Museum, as state delegate to the Act, manages the Yongala site. Today, the Yongala is Australia’s most popular protected historic shipwreck diving experience. Between 2002-2005 an average of 7774 divers per annum had been to the site. Associated with Yongala’s high level of dive tourism, particularly during the years 1981-2001, damage occurred to the wreck’s fabric, coral and concretions, primarily from charter boat anchors. Due to the site’s cultural significance, a series of steps were taken to minimise human damage caused through activities such as penetration diving and anchoring near the site. This paper looks at the history of the Yongala site management, the current condition ICOMOS 2007- eXtreme heritage page 1 of 27 of the wreck and the future options available to conserve the wreck and its associated material assemblage.

    Gordons Bay Scuba Diving Club: A dive wreck for Sydney- the Sydney for Sydney 1| Page Gordons Bay Scuba Diving Club: A dive wreck for Sydney- the Sydney for Sydney Gordons Bay Scuba Diving Club Inc. (GBSDC) The Sydney for Sydney Dive Wreck Proposal Coogee NSW March 2017 Executive Summary With therecent announcement by Defence Minister Marise Payne that the decommissioned ex-HMAS Sydney (4) will be offered as a dive wreck, there is a very strong case for Coogee to become its new home. Similar dive wrecks off Townsville, Avoca Beach and other locations around Australia have brought in millions of dollars to the economy and greatly assisted biodiversity by acting as artificial reefs for fish and marinelife. Sunk 4km off the coastline, there will be no visibility of the wreck from the beach, preserving the natural beauty and amenity of the area. Aproperly managed dive wreck has the potential for over 100 years of -useful life, and will provide recreational activity and economic benefits for generations to come. This dive wreck will be a great asset to Sydney's eastern beaches and to the one million Australians who take part in diving and snorkeling every year. Not only will it appeal to local divers, but also it’s potential as an international diving attraction, which is estimated to contribute up to $7m annually to the NSW economy. The member for Coogee, Bruce Notley Smith arranged a meeting on 16 November 2016 with the Minister for Primary Industry Niall Blair. Questions raised by the DPI as to why the department was not going to submit an expression of interest for the ex HMAS Sydney (4) were tabled.
