Sincerely, ~ SBCC PRODUCTION STAFF ON THE COVER (L toR) K. Flannery, J. Morrisohn, K. Hahn, D. Berber and A. Lentz -The 175th Anniversary of Siebe Gorman­ Augustus Siebe Helmet, Circa 1845-50 and Deane-Siebe Smoke Helmet, Circa 1830 These two helmets are important milestones from the period of diving equipment development during the early part of the last century. The Deane-Siebe smoke helmet is internationally acknowledged as the first in a series of helmets that connect various developments during the 1830's that eventually lead to the perfection of the closed diving helmet by Augustus Siebe in 1840. It is uncertain as to when these two types of helmets were last seen together. In 1881 W.A. Gorman of Siebe Gorman & Co. presented an Augustus Siebe helmet to the Patents Museum in London. His generous gift could possibly have left Siebe Gorman & Co. with only the Deane-Siebe smoke helmet as an example of helmets constructed during Augustus Siebe's leadership of the Company. The cover photograph may represent the only time these significant pieces have appeared jointly since the 1880's, and it is possibly the only photograph ever taken of the two models together. It was taken by Steve Chaparro of Sea Sprite Design in November 1994, prior to the exhibition of both helmet's at the H.D.S. U.S.A. Rally.

    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.

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.
