  • You're Listening to Ocean Currents, a Podcast Brought to You by NOAA's Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary
    1 July 7th, 2014, oc070714.mp3 Free Diving and El Nino 2014 Jennifer Stock, Francesca Koe, Logan Johnson Jennifer Stock: You're listening to Ocean Currents, a podcast brought to you by NOAA's Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary. This radio program was originally broadcast on KWMR in Point Reyes Station, California. Thanks for listening! Welcome to another edition of Ocean Currents, I'm your host, Jennifer Stock. On this show I talk with scientists, educators, explorers, policy-makers, ocean enthusiasts, adventurers and more, all uncovering and learning about the mysterious and vital part of our planet: the blue ocean. I bring this show to you monthly on KWMR from NOAA's Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, one of four national marine sanctuaries in California all working to protect unique and biologically diverse ecosystems. Cordell bank is located just offshore of the KWMR listening radius off the Marin-Sonoma coast, and it's thriving with ocean life above and below the surface. The ocean holds so many mysteries to us: the habitats, the life, the mysterious ways it moves and mixes, its temperatures, its ability to absorb carbon dioxide. And as a species-- as humans-- we've made great strides on being able to enter it and see it below the surface with technology aiding greatly. Before scuba was invented we were limited by our breath to explore underwater, and this is how humans first accessed the sea, and today we still access the sea this way. If you've ever held your breath underwater before you have been free diving.

PRENTICE PRESENTED TO: THE MON ITOR NATIONAL CON FE REt~CE RALEIGH) NORTH CAROLINA APRI L 2 - 4, 1978 I. HARBOR BRANCH FOUNDATION TECHNICAL REPORT No.21 , HISTORY ·One of the first written records of man's ability to work underwater is found in the writings of Herodotus in the 5th Century B.C. He tells of a diver named Scyllis who worked to recover sunken treasure for King Xerxes. There are many other accounts of divers working underwater by holding their breath for two to three minutes but it was not until 1500-1800 A.D. that any significant advancements were made which could be attributed to present day diving technology. During the period after 1500, a device called a diving bell came into the forefront as a practical tool to explore the underwater world. The device was called a bell because it resembled a typical church bell of the times. The first account of such equipment being used was in 1531. Bells did not advance much until the 1680's when an adventurer named William Phipps from Massachusetts supplied air toa bell by lowering inverted, weighted buckets of air to the divers. The famed astronomer, Edmund Halley, also developed a bell and demonstrated his system in 1690. Other inventions by various people were developed but were all like the first diving bells limited by the fact that air could not oe continuously supplied to the divers. It was not until the turn of the 19th Century that a hand oper­ ated air pump was developed which could deliver a continuous supply of air.

  • Scuba Diving History
    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.

  • No Limits Freediving
    1 No Limits Freediving "The challenges to the respiratory function of the breath-hold diver' are formidable. One has to marvel at the ability of the human body to cope with stresses that far exceed what normal terrestrial life requires." Claes Lundgren, Director, Center for Research and Education in Special Environments A woman in a deeply relaxed state floats in the water next to a diving buoy. She is clad in a figure-hugging wetsuit, a dive computer strapped to her right wrist, and another to her calf. She wears strange form-hugging silicone goggles that distort her eyes, giving her a strange bug-eyed appearance. A couple of meters away, five support divers tread water near a diving platform, watching her perform an elaborate breathing ritual while she hangs onto a metal tube fitted with two crossbars. A few meters below the buoy, we see that the metal tube is in fact a weighted sled attached to a cable descending into the dark-blue water. Her eyes are still closed as she begins performing a series of final inhalations, breathing faster and faster. Photographers on the media boats snap pictures as she performs her final few deep and long hyperventilations, eliminating carbon dioxide from her body. Then, a thumbs-up to her surface crew, a pinch of the nose clip, one final lungful of air, and the woman closes her eyes, wraps her knees around the bottom bar of the sled, releases a brake device, and disappears gracefully beneath the waves. The harsh sounds of the wind and waves suddenly cease and are replaced by the effervescent bubbling of air being released from the regulators of scuba-divers.

    UC San Diego SIO Reference Title Wet Suit Pursuit: Hugh Bradner's Development of the First Wet Suit Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7353g3dj Author Rainey, Carolyn Publication Date 1998-11-01 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Wet Suit Pursuit: Hugh Bradner's Development of the First Wet Suit Carolyn Rainey Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography University of California, San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093-0219 November 1998 SIO Reference Number 98-16 In the 100th anniversary issue of Sunset Magazine, published May 1998, the “ongoing timeline of major events” says that in 1952 UC Berkeley physicist Hugh Bradner invented the wet suit. This single fact summarizes a more complex story. In the spring of 1951 Bradner decided to spend some “weekend time” improving the equipment for the navy frogmen. Soon thereafter, he sent ideas and concepts of the wet suit to UC Berkeley physicist, Lauriston C. “Larry” Marshall, who was involved in a U.S. Navy/National Research Council Panel on Underwater Swimmers. In the fall of 1951 the effort to actively develop the wet suit began when colleagues at the Berkeley Radiation Lab joined Bradner in the fabrication and testing of various materials. At the end of 1949, the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, and National Research Council agreed to work together using scientific applications to solve amphibious operational problems. A committee was formed under the chairmanship of UC Berkeley engineer Murrough P. “Mike” O’Brien. Several government panels met to discuss and watch East Coast and West Coast underwater demolition teams in action.
