DISCLAIMER Diving is a potentially hazardous practice and if practiced incorrectly or with incomplete planning and procedures can expose a person to considerable risks including serious injury or death. It requires specialized training, equipment and experience. HISTORICAL DIVER is not intended as a substitute for the above or for the diver to abandon common sense in pursuit of diving activities beyond his or her abilities. HISTORICAL DIVER is intended as a source of information on various aspects of diving, not a~ a substitute for proper training and experience. For training in diving, contact a national certification agency. The reader is advised that all the elements of hazard and risk associated with diving cannot be brought out within the scope of this text. The individuals, companies and organizations presented in HISTORICAL DIVER are not liable for damage or injury including death which may result from any diving activities, with respect to information contained herein. 4 HISTORICAL DIVER No. 21 Fall1999 1999 Historical Diver Magazine Pioneer Award Andre Galerne Andre Galerne is the founder and former Chairman of the Board of Interna­ tional Underwater Contractors (I.U.C.) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Deep Sea International Inc. Born in 1926, in Paris, France, Mr. Galerne was recruited into the French Underground Resistance to fight against the German forces occupying France during World War II. He took his first dive in 1943 using Le Prieur apparatus and worked closely with Jacques Yves Cousteau and Philippe Tailliez in the early days of Aqua-Lung development. Later he honed his engineering skills at 1'Ecole Tech­ nique d' Aeronautique et de Construction Automobile. In 1952, he founded Societe General de Travaux Marine et Fluviaux, SOGETRAM, one of the world's first international firms providing professional diving in industrial work. Using the Aqua-Lung, and light diving helmets, Mr. Galerne's firm revolutionized the un­ derwater industry. In 1959, he left France to start I.U.C.-Canada, in Montreal. In 1962, he emigrated to the United States where he formed International Under­ water Contractors, Inc., serving as President until 1993. In 1970, Mr. Galerne be­ gan I.U.C. International, to service the offshore oil industry. In 1978 he formed Deep Sea International to operate marine vessels, and submersibles and ROV s for the same industry.

  • Scuba Diving History
    Scuba diving history Scuba history from a diving bell developed by Guglielmo de Loreno in 1535 up to John Bennett’s dive in the Philippines to amazing 308 meter in 2001 and much more… Humans have been diving since man was required to collect food from the sea. The need for air and protection under water was obvious. Let us find out how mankind conquered the sea in the quest to discover the beauty of the under water world. 1535 – A diving bell was developed by Guglielmo de Loreno. 1650 – Guericke developed the first air pump. 1667 – Robert Boyle observes the decompression sickness or “the bends”. After decompression of a snake he noticed gas bubbles in the eyes of a snake. 1691 – Another diving bell a weighted barrels, connected with an air pipe to the surface, was patented by Edmund Halley. 1715 – John Lethbridge built an underwater cylinder that was supplied via an air pipe from the surface with compressed air. To prevent the water from entering the cylinder, greased leather connections were integrated at the cylinder for the operators arms. 1776 – The first submarine was used for a military attack. 1826 – Charles Anthony and John Deane patented a helmet for fire fighters. This helmet was used for diving too. This first version was not fitted to the diving suit. The helmet was attached to the body of the diver with straps and air was supplied from the surfa 1837 – Augustus Siebe sealed the diving helmet of the Deane brothers’ to a watertight diving suit and became the standard for many dive expeditions.

  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

    DIVING WITH THE SEAHORSE Omega has achieved a great deal in divers’ watches and was a true pioneer in water-sealed timepieces. The Omega seahorse symbolizing water resistance has even become one of the best known logos. BY JENS KOCH he history of divers’ watches at Omega began not only at an ex - T tremely early point in time but with a timekeeper that was better known for its elegance than its robust construc - tion. This is not surprising, for it was the age of art deco and thus rectangular watches. In 1932, the Omega Marine was already defining revolutionary case making: a double case ensured water re - sistance, while a tensioning lever pushed the inner case against a leather seal. The outer crystal was crafted in scratchproof sapphire, a rarity at the time. The watch was available in rust-free Staybrite steel as well as in gold. A strap crafted in seal leather guaranteed resistance to salt wa - ter, and the folding clasp offered length adjustment. In an extreme temperature test in 1936, three Marine models were placed The Omega Marine, introduced in 1932, with a in water heated to 85° C (185° F) for double case, sapphire crystal, and a strap made of four minutes and then lowered 73 meters saltwater-resistant seal leather HISTORY Omega Seamaster The foundations of a grand line: Seamaster models from 1948, The Seamaster Professional 600 from 1970, nicknamed ProPlof, Those who put their lives on the line need a good watch on their wrists: The Seamaster Professional 100 0m/330 0ft from 1971 with one of them in chronometer version with a monocoque case and security button for the rotating bezel an Omega ad from 1970 for the Seamaster Professional 600 a monocoque case was Omega’s most water-resistant watch.

Partial Liquid Ventilation Versus Conventional Mechanical Ventilation with High PEEP and Moderate Tidal Volume in Acute Respiratory Failure in Piglets SIEGFRIED RÖDL, BERNDT URLESBERGER, IGOR KNEZ, DRAGO DACAR, AND GERFRIED ZOBEL Departments of Pediatrics [S.R., G.Z.], Neonatology [B.U.] and Cardiac Surgery [I.K., D.D.], University of Graz, A-8036 Graz, Austria ABSTRACT This prospective randomized pilot study aimed to test the measurements. When compared with control animals, partial hypotheses that partial liquid ventilation combined with a high liquid ventilation resulted in significantly better oxygenation positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and a moderate tidal with improved cardiac output and oxygen delivery. Dead space volume results in improved gas exchange and lung mechanics ventilation appeared to be lower during partial liquid ventilation without negative hemodynamic influences compared with con- compared with conventional mechanical ventilation. No signifi- ventional mechanical ventilation in acute lung injury in piglets. cant differences were observed in airway pressures, pulmonary Acute lung injury was induced in 12 piglets weighing 9.0 Ϯ 2.4 compliance, and airway resistance between both groups. The kg by repeated i.v. injections of oleic acid and repeated lung results of this pilot study suggest that partial liquid ventilation lavages. Thereafter, the animals were randomly assigned either combined with high PEEP and moderate tidal volume improves to partial liquid ventilation (n ϭ 6) or conventional mechanical oxygenation, dead space ventilation, cardiac output, and oxygen ϭ ventilation (n 6) at a fractional concentration of inspired O2 of delivery compared with conventional mechanical ventilation in 1.0, a PEEP of 1.2 kPa, a tidal volume Ͻ 10 mL/kg body weight acute lung injury in piglets but has no significant influence on (bw), a respiratory rate of 24 breaths/min, and an inspiratory/ lung mechanics.
