Monthly meeting programs subject to change without notice. Camping and Diving in Key Largo By Steve Locsey, March 26, 2017 While there, I had the opportunity to attend a Executive Meeting Highlights most intriguing presentation at the History of Diving Museum in Islamorada. I planned on March 16 @ Planks, 7:00 PM Present: N/A making this a repeat of last year by diving five consecutive days for four one hour dives a day. Executive meeting was canceled All I needed was the weather to cooperate with winds under 15 knots and no thunderstorms, All members are welcome to attend which indeed happened. I was lucky again. But Executive Meetings my real luck was that the second night there, I received an email from the History of Diving Museum inviting me to a free presentation in the new library, "NEEMO 21 Mission: Going Undersea to get to Outer Space". Then I remembered that I've gotten about 4 of these invitations already, always leaving me with the letdown of not being able to go, since Columbus is so far from there. I instantly knew this was a solid "yes" for Wednesday night after diving! I later was told that these are monthly on the third Wednesday at 7PM.

I pulled into the museum parking lot that night at 5 minutes after seven. The library seating was almost full, and the presenter, Dawn Kernagis, had begun speaking already. Really quickly, I felt this was a very special presentation.

  • Ras Al-Hamra Sub Aqua Club RAHSAC Celebrates 30 Anniversary
    Ras al-Hamra Sub Aqua Club BSAC BRANCH 1299s RAHSAC celebrates 30th Anniversary On 19th May 1982 the Ras Al Hamra Sub-Aqua Club was founded as a section of the Ras Al Hamra Recreation Club and as branch 1299 of the British Sub-Aqua Club. Some people who were instrumental in the formation of the club were Richard Keech, Mike Butcher, John Elder and Frances Green. Consisting of around 15 members, the dive club had sponsorship from the Recreation Club and could buy some dive tanks, regulators and most important, a compressor. Since formation we have seen hundreds of divers passing through the club; as a club our membership tends to change every four years as people change postings. We have also trained hundreds of divers to become good divers and many up to instructor levels. The club has had its ups and downs with membership shrinking and expanding, restricted by regulations and discovering new dive sites. We have always been supported by the RAH Recreation Club and its committee with finance for equipment, boats and compressors. We have also supported the club during sailing and swimming events and other occasions. At present RAHSAC is a large healthy diving club with about 100 members, instructors, boats, compressors, gas blending facilities and everything that an adventurous diver needs. These two pictures show how the club has developed, from owning a Rubber Duck (see picture above) to operating three seaworthy dive boats. (See picture left) In May we will celebrate our 30th Birthday, a milestone in the club’s history with a celebration dinner on 16th May and with diving activities on 19th May.

  • A Short History of Oxton 1800-1900 by Ray Johnson A
    A SHORT HISTORY OF OXTON 1800-1900 BY RAY JOHNSON A Short Diversion The modern town of Birkenhead stands upon what was once the wooded headland jutting out into the River Mersey. The name Birkenhead is probably descriptive of the ancient place in that it is most likely meaning is the "headland of birch trees". Great areas of the Wirral were once heavily forested and almost its entire Mersey shoreline must then have looked something like the scene we can still see today in the area of Eastham Ferry. Here great trees sweep down to the River Mersey and balance themselves at the very edge of rocky banks. The wooded headland that is now Birkenhead would once have been just like that. The headland must have seemed like a finger of land pointing out into the River Mersey towards the Liverpool bank, for there was, on the other side of it, a large natural pool. On the south side, the Tranmere Pool ran inland for almost a mile and it is believed that this place was the Somreford (ie Some Ford) referred to in the Domesday Book, since it is known that it was possible to cross the Pool at time of lower summer tides, by stepping on stepping stones. It is also known that the stepping stones were still in use in 1790 when an embankment was built to replace them and to carry the new Chester Road across the pool. To the north of the headland lay the Wallasey Pool - 1 mile wide at its mouth and stretching so far inland that it almost cut across the Wirral completely.

The marine historic environment can be defined as places under the sea and in the intertidal zone where evidence for human activity is preserved. Here, this means historic remains found below the high water mark. The first part explains the different types of evidence, how to find it and what it can tell us about how people lived in the past. It also outlines some of the threats to the marine historic environment and opportunities for how it can be managed sustainably for the benefit of people now and in the future.

  • The Development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV); a Brief Summary
    The Development of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV); A Brief Summary D. Richard Blidberg, (blidberg@ausi,org) Autonomous Undersea Systems Institute, Lee New Hampshire, USA Introduction The concept of a submersible vehicle is not a new idea. The first American submarine was called “Turtle.” It was built at Saybrook, Connecticut in 1775 by David Bushnell and his brother, Ezra. The Turtle was a little egg-shaped wooden submarine held together by iron straps. Turtle bobbed like a cork in rough surface winds and seas even though she was lead weighted at the bottom. In this hand and foot-operated contraption, one person could descend by operating a valve to admit water into the ballast tank and ascend with the use of pumps to eject the water. Two flap-type air vents at the top opened when the hatch was clear of water and closed when it was as not. The air supply lasted only 30 minutes. The Turtle's first engagement, which took place in New York Harbor in 1776, was also the first naval battle in history involving a submarine. [Pararas] In November of 1879, the Reverend George W. Garrett designed, what was considered by some to be the world's first practical powered submarine, the “Resurgam.” It was built at the Brittannia Engine Works and Foundry of J. B. Cochran in Birkenhead, England and was powered by a Lamm 'fireless' steam engine, and could travel for some ten hours on power stored in an insulated tank. After these historic underwater vehicles, there have been many more submersibles developed and used operationally for a number of different tasks.
