Some of these delays were the result of placing historical accuracy above all else. We do let deadlines slip if we are not confident that our content is accurate. Like the Society, Historical Diver is basically run by a volunteer staff who do their best to bring you an accurate accounting of various topics of diving history from around the world. This sometimes involves translating several foreign languages, deciphering local technical jargon, a considerable amount of editing, and also transforming four different versions of the English language into one. The result is often a mid-Atlantic, mid-Pacific blend of English text. It might be a little unusual, but the criteria is historical accuracy: not competing with Shakespeare. If our printed accounting is inaccurate we invite and welcome corrections which we will publish in future editions. In this edition we are pleased to announce the formation of HDS Canada, who under the guidance of the knowledgeable Dr. Phil Nuytten, will no doubt expose us to that country's rich and varied underwater history. Our friends "down under" at DHS ASEA sent over some historical photos of the divers in the Royal Australian Navy which we are extremely happy to share with our members. Skin Diver Magazine has been working its Editor, and our Director, Bonnie Cardone at such a frantic pace that her regular "Women Pioneers" column missed our deadline, after 15 straight issues, but it will appear in the next issue. Those members with an interest in the maintenance and preservation of classic equipment will be pleased to read about the transformation of the Gulf Coast Working Equipment Group into The Undersea Heritage & Exploration Society, a non profit corporation. This wise move, orchestrated by Paul Shenck and John Hoover, provides the group with a vehicle to acquire and maintain artifacts of diving history. Of equal importance, it provides them with various means to fund their chosen activity while ensuring their diving operations have access to public support. We wish them luck on their new adventure.

I examine reef health surrounding two islands in Fiji, Vatulele and Ovalau, and two Cook Islands, Aitutaki and Rarotonga. Each island has distinct differences based not only on reef type, environment, and ecology, but also upon social institutions. I will compare four islands with barrier and fringing reefs that have different levels of economic development, population pressure, land-use practices, and marine management practices. This research will assess coral health in areas that have not been previously surveyed. This interdisciplinary research methodology includes both ecological and social data collection to further understanding of human environment interactions. I do this by identifying and describing the presence of certain social institutions and some historical reasons as to why they exist.

  • 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.

ABSTRACT-Composites materials are finding wide spread use in naval applications in recent times. Ships and under water vehicles like torpedoes Submarines etc. Torpedoes which are designed for moderate and deeper depths require minimization of structural weight for increasing payload, performance/speed and operating range for that purpose Aluminium alloy casting is used for the fabrication of propeller blades. In current years the increased need for the light weight structural element with acoustic insulation, has led to use of fiber reinforced multi-layer composite propeller. The present work carries out the structural analysis of a CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) , (Graphite fiber reinforced plastic ), Nibral propeller blade which proposed to replace the Aluminium 6061 propeller blade. Propeller is subjected to an external hydrostatic pressure on either side of the blades depending on the operating depth and flow around the propeller also result in differential hydrodynamic pressure between face and back surfaces of blades. The propeller blade is modelled and designed such that it can with stand the static load distribution and finding the stresses and deformation, strain, for different materials aluminium, Nibral and Graphite fiber reinforced plastic ,carbon fiber reinforced plastic materials.

    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.
