    The Muddy Puddle June 2006 Welcome! In This Issue… Here we are again with another edition of the Muddy Puddle, its June and 2. DO's Drivel the diving season is in full swing. So far this year we have had day trips to Brighton and have managed to recover from two weekends in Plymouth. 3. Write ups of some of these trips can be found on pages 8 - 13, along with Club Polo Shirts a write up from Tony Dillon on his recent trip to the Red Sea. Easter, as 4. always, signaled the start of the Croydon BSAC 23 season and what a Training Officer's great weekend it turned out to be. Thanks to all those that attended -I Report hope you enjoyed it as much as I did (some might say I enjoyed it a little too much on some nights). We also had a bit of a social evening where 5. Dry Officer's Report Clare Walton organized a raffle and gave away a load of rubbish, thanks to Walton for that, a good time was had by all – especially the prize winners! 7. Expeditions Officer's The club continues to grow and those in training continue to further their Report knowledge and experience through the BSAC courses the club provides. I'd 8. like to welcome (somewhat belatedly) Jeremy Hopes and Chris Hughes to Trip Reports the club.

  • 667 DEVELOPMENT of the PORT of BRISBANE [By E
    667 DEVELOPMENT OF THE PORT OF BRISBANE [By E. V. STEVENS] (Read at the meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland on 22nd May 1952) The official boundary of the port is the area embraced by a line extending from Caloundra Head across to Moreton Island, thence down both Moreton and Stradbroke Islands to the southern extremity of the latter, crossing to the mainland and back along it to the point of commencement, and includes all creeks and navigable waters within that area. Commercially, one may say the River is the Port and it' is with the river and its entrance that this paper is mainly con­ cerned. The Port was declared free by proclamation in the N.S.W. Government Gazette 10/2/1842, reading, "The ninth clause of an Act in Council No. 3 passed in the third year (1833) of His late Majesty William the Fourth prohibiting vessels from touching at any Penal Settlement without leave from the Governor, no longer applies." The effort to establish Cleveland as the capital city had failed, and immediately following the declara­ tion of Brisbane as a port of entry, the first Deputy Collector of Customs, W. A. Duncan, arrived by "Tamar" in June, 1846. The first Custom House, one story of brick and stone, on the same site as the now existing one, was erected by Jas. Atkinson in 1849. It was demolished in 1886 and the present building erected by John Petrie. (See NOTE 1.) Earliest entrance to the port was by way of the South Passage between Moreton and Stradbroke Islands.

  • Know Your Tides
    SCUBA SCHOOL – KNOW YOUR TIDES Hardly a summer goes by without someone leaving their boat at anchor, only to return later to find that their RIB has been left high and dry on the beach. Not only beached, but a six-metre 140 horse powered bouncy castle for a company of five year-olds re-enacting scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean. Subsequent attempts to drag the half-ton RIB through the sand in a futile attempt to catch the receding tide only add to the fascination. Comments of no use whatsoever usually ensue, "heh mate, I watched the Royal Tattoo last Saturday and the Field Gun race wasn't half as good as this"! Eventually a local makes the sensible observation, “It'll be best to wait for the tide to come in”. “What time will that be?” “'bout 9 o'clock I reckon”. “but I've got to be in Manchester by 6!” At the least a poor understanding of tides can spoil the enjoyment of diving at the coast, at worst can ruin it through incidents such as lost diver. Four things divers need to know about tides: 1. Time of high and low water - you can then plan when to launch or recover a boat, or conduct a shore dive. 2. Height of tide - to enable more accurate calculation of depth. 3. Speed and direction of currents - for planning drift dives. 4. Time of slack water – when you don't want to dive in a current. WHERE'S THE WATER GONE? Around the complex coastline of northern Europe and the UK the gravitational pull of the sun and moon causes dramatic changes of sea level in just six hours.
