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.

  • Dr Craig Challen SC OAM
    Dr Craig Challen SC OAM Australian of the Year 2019, Thai Cave Rescue Diver, Aviator and Keynote Speaker Dr Craig Challen was named Australian of the Year 2019 in recognition of his work to rescue 12 young soccer players and their coach from a flooded Thai cave in Chiang Rai, Thailand in July 2018. Craig is in high demand as a keynote speaker. He presents alone or in partnership with fellow cave rescue diver Dr Richard Harris. An internationally recognised diver, a former vet, CEO and keen aviator, Craig is able to tailor his presentations to suit the audience and is available for question and answer sessions. More about Dr Craig Challen: Craig was about to go on a caving holiday in the Nullarbor Plains, when he was called to help the rescue mission based on his technical expertise. Although he initially thought the rescue would be too difficult to accomplish, he played a leading role in the successful mission. Working 10 to 12 hours a day in extremely dangerous conditions, he repeatedly risked his life as the children were swum, one by one, through the dark and narrow flooded caves. Craig was awarded the Star of Courage for his unwavering and selfless bravery. In 2019 he was recognised as Australian of the Year for Western Australia. One of Australia’s leading technical divers, Craig is a member of the Wet Mules, a diving group that takes on some of the world’s deepest caves. After commencing cave diving in the 1990s he was an early adopter of closed-circuit mixed gas rebreathers.

It has been only 9 months since the Society was launched in October 1992, and membership has risen rapidly during this period. So rapidly, in fact, that it soon became obvious to the Steering Committee and myself that we would outgrow our position as the North American Chapter of the British Society and would have to restructure our organization.

It was that reputation that led British diver Rick Stanton to call on CAVE Craig’s expertise to rescue the Thai football team from the Tham Luang RESCUE Cave, with his dive buddy and friend, anaesthetist Dr Richard (Harry) Harris. With around 20 years’ diving HERO TO experience, and a depth record (221 metres) to his credit, Craig and Harry were about to embark on another SPEAK AT cave diving adventure on the Nullarbor when the call came to help in the extraordinary rescue mission. BRISBANE The world held its collective breath while the life and death operation went into coordination mode as the CONFERENCE international team examined the best chance of rescue. Then came the rescue mode, and for a few days, Australian diver Dr Craig Challen, people everywhere hoped for a miracle that the boys would be saved. one of the heroes at the heart Not in living memory has there of the recent Thai cave rescue, been such a positive news experience as that which revealed the success will speak at next year’s Rotary of the mission, and the extraordinary Conference in Brisbane, Qld. courage and determination, guided by skill, that the team demonstrated throughout. Only when all the boys had been rescued did Craig and Harry leave the cave.
