  • 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.
