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.

Oktober 2013: Eine Expedition geht zu Ende Kurzbericht 14. August - 16. Oktober 2013, Punta Arenas - Kapstadt Die Expedition ANT-XXIX-7 „WISKY“ (Winter Sea Ice Study on Key species) startet am 14. August 2013 in Punta Arenas, Chile, und endet am 16. Oktober 2013 in Kapstadt, Südafrika. 51 Wissenschaftler und Techniker aus 9 Ländern werden an Bord sein. Der Hauptschwerpunkt der Fahrt befasst sich mit den Untersuchungen zur Kondition von antarktischem Krill, Euphausia superba in der Schottischen See, in Relation zu biologischen und physikalischen Gegebenheiten im offenen Wasser sowie in Regionen mit unterschiedlich intensiver Meereisbedeckung während der Übergangsphase vom antarktischen Winter zum Frühjahr. Expeditionen im antarktischen Winter werden aufgrund der widrigen Eisbedingungen sehr selten durchgeführt, so dass nur wenige wissenschaftliche Daten aus dieser Jahreszeit vorhanden sind. Daher wird als weiterer Schwerpunkt der Expedition auf dem Weg ins Eis sein die Biologie, Chemie und Physik der winterlichen Wassersäule zu erforschen. Mittels interdisziplinärer Prozessstudien soll die mechanistische Beziehung zwischen der winterlichen Meereisbedeckung und der Kondition des Krill (speziell seiner Larvenstadien) sowie anderer dominanter Organismen, die mit dem Meereis assoziiert sind, erforscht werden. Die Expedition soll entscheidend dazu beitragen die Auswirkungen eines Rückgangs der winterlichen Meereisbedeckung auf die Krillpopulation zu quantifizieren.

  • 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.
