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.

  • A Liminal Experience Under the Surface of the Ocean
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE BELAS-ARTES APNEA A liminal experience under the surface of the ocean Janna Nadjejda Ribow Guichet Dissertação Mestrado em Arte Multimedia Especialização em Fotografia Dissertação orientada pela Professora Doutora Maria João Pestana Noronha Gamito 2021 DECLARAÇÃO DE AUTORIA Eu Janna Nadjejda Ribow Guichet, declaro que a presente dissertação de mestrado intitulada “Apnéia”, é o resultado da minha investigação pessoal e independente. O conteúdo é original e todas as fontes consultadas estão devidamente mencionadas na bibliografia ou outras listagens de fontes documentais, tal como todas as citações diretas ou indiretas têm devida indicação ao longo do trabalho segundo as normas académicas. O Candidato [assinatura] Lisboa, 27.10.19 RESUMO O trabalho é sobre uma imersão no oceano e em nós mesmos. A questão é: como podemos obter um efeito positivo por meio do oceano? O primeiro capítulo analisará os pensamentos antigos e contemporâneos do sublime; A figura do vórtice foi usada nas artes e na literatura para criar sensações sublimes, Immanuel Kant e Edmund Burke afirmaram que o sublime pode trazer um efeito positivo que será discutido. Uma sensação sublime diferente é a Liminalidade, que encontrei durante a Apnéia. Muitos artistas descrevem seu poder transformador, que será comparado à pesquisa médica científica. Mas a mensagem fundamental permanece: “A experiência sublime é fundamentalmente transformadora, sobre a relação entre desordem e ordem, e a ruptura das coordenadas estáveis de tempo e espaço. Algo se precipita e somos profundamente alterados.” (Morley, 2010, p.12) O segundo capítulo define Ambientes Imersivos em Artes e Apnéia. Após a experiência liminar comecei a treinar o desporto e aprendi a controlar minha mente e corpo de forma imersiva, o que trouxe à tona os conceitos: ponto do silêncio (preparação), jogo mental (submersão) e foco (volta a superfície).

In 2009/2010, the CEAlex launched a 3D photogrammetry data-gathering programme for the virtual reassembly of broken artefacts. In 2013 and the beginning of 2014, with the support of the Honor Frost Foundation, methods were developed and refined to acquire manual photographic data of the entire underwater site of Qaitbay using a DSLR camera, simple and low cost materials to obtain a digital surface model (DSM) of the submerged site of the lighthouse, and also to create 3D models of the objects themselves, such as statues, bases of statues and architectural elements.

    Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press smithsonian contributions to the marine sciences • number 39 Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press Research and Discoveries The Revolution of Science through Scuba Edited by Michael A. Lang, Roberta L. Marinelli, Susan J. Roberts, and Phillip R. Taylor SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to History and Technology Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institu- tions throughout the world. Manuscripts submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press from authors with direct affilia- tion with the various Smithsonian museums or bureaus and are subject to peer review and review for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines.

  • POP Diving: the Big Blue
    POP Diving: The Big Blue BACKGROUND INFO and FACTS In the 60's and 70's, freediving world champions Jaques Mayol and Enzo Maiorca face one another in the blue, beating each other's records. Their performances leave medical experts of those times speechless, and bring freediving to the attention of the general public. It is Mayol, the Frenchman, who finally prevails on the Italian, becoming the first freediver to go beyond 100 meters of depth. And it is precisely around Mayol, considered the father of modern day freediving, that in 1987, movie director Luc Besson creates his first cult-movie, Le Grand Bleu. THE FILM The Blue is so vast and dream-like that it could envelop the collective unconscious of any living being, from man to bacteria. A strong surreal sense permeates the movie, from Mayol's (Jean- Marc Barr) dream to Enzo's mask (Maiorca is played by an outstanding Jean Reno), to the drinking scene in evening attire on the bottom of the pool. In full Besson-style, almost all the characters are caricatural, including Rosanna Arquette, who at times moves like a puppet, as well as the Italians, and the competition judges. At sea, though, things get serious, bodies hyperventilate, go down, come up, dance. They dance with dolphins. It is especially an ethereal Barr-Jaques Mayol who dances; in the movie, as in real life, he was the first to sense the physiological similarities between man and dolphin. Mayol lay the foundations for scientific exploration of the blood-shift phenomenon, and for modern day freediving.
