  • 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.

  • Side Scanning Sonar - a Theoretical Study
    SIDE SCANNING SONAR - A THEORETICAL STUDY by Olivier L e e n h a r d t , Institut für Geophysik der Universitàt, Kiel ABSTRACT The principle of operation in side scanning sonars is here studied. After briefly describing the various existing equipments, the influence of different design factors on the range is first examined, and then the resolution in both the horizontal and the vertical plane. Next distortions are analysed. Firstly there are those inherent in the principle adopted for tïîèuistruinent : these distortions are due either to the obliquity of the acoustic waves, or to the ratio between recording scales, or again to the slope of the sea bottom. Secondly, accidental distortions are discussed : these result from the pitch, roll or yawing of the fish carrying the transducer, from the crabwise motions of the vessel due to cross winds or currents, and from variations in the velocity of sound in water. Finally acoustic interferences are discussed : those attributable to the recording paper, to several instruments being operated simultaneously, or to shoals of fish, the Deep Scattering Layer, or to airbubbles in the water. Some indications as to how to achieve satisfactory results with a side scanning sonar for specified purposes are given in a brief conclusion. For illustrated examples the reader is referred to various earlier issues of the International Hydrographic Review. GENERAL It was to geologists in Great Britain towards the end of the 1950s that the idea of applying side scan soilar methods first came — and it is the British who have contributed the most to the development of this equipment.

  • Bathyscaphe Trieste by Dennis Bryant
    Royal Belgian Institute of Marine Engineers Bathyscaphe Trieste by Dennis Bryant A revolutionary diving craft, leading the way for future generations. The first ultra‐deep diving manned vessel was conceived, designed, and constructed by August Piccard, a Swiss physicist in 1947. He called the craft a bathyscaph, coined by combining the Greek words bathos, meaning deep, and scaphos, meaning ship. In 1952, he began construction of a more advanced version. Because it was built largely in the city of Trieste, he named it TRIESTE when it was launched on August 1, 1953. It consisted of a small pressure sphere about seven feet in diameter attached to the underside of roughly rectangular float chamber that was 59 feet long and eleven feet wide. The whole thing looked distinctly unseaworthy. That is because the craft was never designed to transit on the surface of the water. Rather, its sole purpose was dive deep and return to the surface. The float chamber was filled with 22,000 gallons of gasoline. This flammable liquid was selected for two reasons: first, it was lighter than water; and second, it was nearly incompressible, even at extreme pressure. The float chamber also was fitted with two ballast silos filled with 18,000 pounds of magnetic iron pellets. These pellets were to be released when the two‐ man crew wanted to ascend to the surface. Having no means of propulsion when on the surface, the Trieste had to be brought to a point almost directly above its target and then allowed to descend. The craft made various dives in the Mediterranean before it was purchased by the US Navy in 1958 for the sum or $250,000.

  • 120 Introduction Sampling Devices
    San Diego’s Marine Technology Industry By Brock J. Rosenthal Sampling Devices The study of the oceans started as a descriptive science describing and cataloging biological and geological specimens. Many clever mechanical collecting devices were devised to remotely retrieve samples. Initially, by necessity, all were built by the scientists who used them. One of the earliest companies in the U.S. to make sampling equipment for marine scientists was Kahl Scientific Company, sometimes known as Kahlsico. Started in New York City, by Joseph Kahl in 1935, Kahl Scientific began making metrological equipment; they soon catered to requests from customers for field equipment such as water and seafloor samplers. In the aftermath of World War II, Kahl participated Introduction in Operation Paperclip – an Office of Strategic Services n the early days of oceanography scientists largely (OSS) program that recruited scientists from Nazi made their own equipment.

On March 23, 1875, at station 225 between Guam and Palau, the crew recorded a sounding of 4,475 fathoms, (8,184 meters) deep. Modern soundings of 10,994 meters have since been found near the site of the Challenger’s original sounding. Challenger’s discovery of the deepest spot on Earth was a key finding of the expedition and now bears the vessel's name, the Challenger Deep. Mean depth of global ocean is ~3,700 m Talk outline 1.

    1 Bibliography Primary Sources Documentary/Film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Dir. Stuart Paton. Universal Film Management Company, 1916. ​ DVD. This is the version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea that Jacques Cousteau viewed as a ​ ​ teenager. As one of the earliest films to include underwater footage, Cousteau was fascinated and inspired. We included clips from this film in our website because it was extremely influential on Cousteau. It is important to understand that this was the first time that people saw short underwater clips, and the public was captivated. This impact on the public is the reason that we try to focus on Jules Verne and his science fiction. Épaves. Dir. Jacques Cousteau, Frederic Dumas, and Philippe Taillez. 1943. Online. CG­45. ​ Web. 27 Jan. 2016. In English, this documentary is called Shipwrecks. This was one of Cousteau's earliest ​ ​ underwater films, and one of the first films where divers used the aqualung. It was received with much critical approval, and won several awards as a short documentary. This work was the beginning of Cousteau's film career as he filmed divers using the aqualung. Viewed today, the film seems very primitive, and technological difficulties make the action appear staged. This source was important to us because it gave us a sense of Cousteau’s early efforts in film. First Tests of the Aqualung. Perf. Jacques Cousteau. 1943. YouTube. Web. 27 Jan. 2016. ​ It shows Cousteau testing the aqualung with other men, and includes a voiceover by Cousteau that describes the aqualung, and how it will benefit divers.
