HISTORICAL DIVER No.6 Winter 1995 3 HDS lJSA Advisory Board DR. SYLVIA EARLE A marine scientist, Sylvia Earle earned a B.S. from Florida State University when she was only 19. She continued her education at Duke, earning an MS. and Ph.D in Botany. In 1970 she was the leader of the world's first team of women aquanauts during the Tektite Project. She is the author of more than 70 publications, has participated in numerous television productions and delivered scientific, technical and general interest lectures in more than 50 countries. Deeply concerned with ocean conservation, she says she spends " ... a fair amount of time trying to explain to those who only know fish as they appear with lemon slices and butter that there is more to be appreciated about these creatures than how they taste." Dr. Earle has led more than 50 expeditions, involving in excess of 5000 hours underwater She was the first person to walk untethered on the ocean floor at 1,250 feet and shares with three other people- a solo deep diving record (3,000 feet) in the submersible Deep Rover. She and Graham Hawkes founded Deep Ocean Technology, Inc. and Deep Ocean Engineering. In 1990, President Bush appointed Dr. Earle, Chief Scientist of the National Oceanic Atmo­ spheric Administration. According to an article in Sea Technology, she has " .. amassed an impressive array of fellowships, consultancies, and trusteeships." DICK BONIN Dick's first diving experience came as a member of the U.D.T. at the time of the Korean War. After leaving the service he worked for Divemaster in Chicago, where he and Vern Pederson co-founded the lllinois Council of Skin and Scuba Divers. Dick later moved to California where he served as general manager for Swimaster and Sportsways before joining Healthways and co-founding Scubapro with Gustav Dalla Valle. Throughout his long career in sport diving, Dick has helped to provide the industry with a cohesive voice by co-founding the Organization of Underwater Manufacturers in 1957, which eventually evolved into DEMA. He became DEMA president in 1991. Dick also founded DEMA's non-profit environmental organization: Ocean Futures. Dick is the recipient of the NOGI Distinguished Service Award, the Diving Hall of Fame Reaching Out Award and the Los Angeles County Underwater Instructors Program Lifetime Achievement Award. An avid free diver, Dick is a very active member of the Long Beach Neptunes. A more comprehensive background of Dick's career can be found in Diving Pio­ neers - An Oral History of Diving in America by HDS USA member Eric Hanauer.

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.

By way of catching up, we have produced a Summer double issue and have the good fortune to be able to publish with a color cover. Coinciding with the Santa Barbara relocation is the appointment, by the Board of Directors, of the first members of the HDS USA Advisory Board. This distinguished group of senior diving professionals, with extensive backgrounds in diving medicine, technical development, commercial, military and sports diving, bring in excess of 300 years of diving experience to the Society. Most of their biographies are the size of town phone directories, and have had to be severely edited for publication. We are honored and gratefulfortheir willing offers of service, and hope that we have done their biographies justice. Details start on page 4. The recently introduced, Founding Benefactor class of membership has proven to be very popular with over half of the thirty available memberships already taken. An opportunity still exists to acquire one of these unique memberships and details of it's benefits are noted on page 9. On the international front, the ongoing formation of the HDS USA as a nonprofit corporation has, by law, changed the conditions that govern our relationship with the HDS in UK.

  • The Blue Plaque Augustus Siebe Nick Rennison
    The Blue Plaque Augustus Siebe Nick Rennison The 'closed' diving helmet revolutionised diving by allowing the diver to remain underwater for longer and to dive deeper. Many of the great engineering projects of the Victorian era could not have been carried out without the work of divers, and they could not have done their work without the 'closed' helmet. It was invented by a German, Augustus Siebe, who lived and worked in Denmark Street, WC2 for nearly half a century. Siebe was born in Prussia in 1788 and had served as an artillery officer in the Prussian army against Napoleon, being wounded at the Battle of Lepzig in 1813. After the defeat of Napoleon he worked as a watchmaker before moving to London in the year after Waterloo. After living first in High Holborn, Siebe moved to Denmark Street in 1828 and it was there, twelve years later, that he designed his revolutionary ‘closed’ helmet. One of the first opportunities to show how effective Siebe's new helmet was came in the 1840s when divers descended into the waters off Spithead to investigate the wreck of the Royal George, a ship which had sunk there sixty years earlier. The helmet proved so successful that the same basic design was being used by the Royal Navy more than a century later. A man of great ingenuity and inventiveness, Siebe created many other machines at his workshop in Denmark Street, including a weighing machine, a paper-making machine and an ice–making machine. At the Great Exhibition of 1851, he won several medals for his inventions.
