TAMU Oceanography - Gyre scuba operations involve all the hazards of swimming, plus All divers for research purposes will be required from the University Health and safety Officer, and http://www-ocean.tamu.edu/Cruise/swim.html
Extractions: Home Student Info Research About Us ... Directory Safety Operations Contrary to popular opinion, swimming from a ship at sea is quite dangerous, and will not be permitted for recreational purposes. If swimming is planned as a part of the scientific operations, this should be noted on the cruise plan. Scuba operations involve all the hazards of swimming, plus the perils of underwater work. All divers for research purposes will be required to have prior approval from the University Health and Safety Officer, and exhibit proper qualifications. All operations must conform to University regulations and procedures, and the provisions of the UNOLS "Research Vessel Safety Standards." Small boat operations (such as raft or Zodiac) must be well planned with regard to safety and competence of the boat operators. Usage of small boats as part of the research program should be noted on the Cruise Plan in detail. Submersible operations, including the use of ROVs, require extensive and specialized pre-cruise planning for logistics, safety, notification of proper authorities, etc. Those involved in such operations will receive special briefings and preparation from submersible support personnel.
Extractions: La Jolla was incorporated into the City of San Diego in 1850, but its international reputation makes it seem like a city to itself. The name is usually translated as "the jewel" and tourists often make their status known when they mispronounce the name using a hard "j." There is also a school of thought that the name derives from an Indian word meaning "the hole" referring to the caves that dot the cliffs. Whatever its origins, La Jolla has become synonymous with cosmopolitan living in San Diego. The area was vacant land when it was incorporated into the City of San Diego. Settlers didn't really come until the 1880s when Frank Terrill Botsford arrived and began subdividing the land. The original lots sold for about $1.25 an acrea true bargain compared with the million dollar an acre prices the land commands now. When the railroad came through in the 1890s, the area began to develop as a resort. Its ocean front location and incredible ocean views were an instant hit with tourists and residents. Over the years La Jolla developed into a well-known destination for those interested in seaside resort living. It boasts world class shopping, gourmet restaurants and luxurious hotels. Celebrities frequent the area, and movie stars are often seen on the streets and in the shops. Ellen Browning Scripps, the newspaper heiress, lived much of her long life in La Jolla and endowed her adopted town with a number of gifts. She was instrumental in locating the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla and her home became the Contemporary Museum of Art. She also started Scripps Hospital and the Children's Pool.
Extractions: Dry Suit Diver Dry suit diving has become increasingly popular in recent years. While dry suits were once used almost exclusively for situations such as ice diving or deep wreck diving, many sport divers are now using dry suits regularly for every day sport dives all over the world. Material technology, valve design, and zipper reliability have all improved to a point where dry suits deliver greater value per dollar for cold and temperate water diving. This course is to provide the diver with a basic understanding of the knowledge and skills needed to minimize risks and maximize the experiences in dry suit diving. It will train scuba divers to properly use and maintain dry suits. By learning proper dry suit use and maintenance, you will extend your opportunities for diving to year-round. Dry suits also can increase the number of comfortable dives you can do per day, lower your air consumption, and expand your enjoyment

Extractions: Diving from the R/V Endeavor POLICY Scientific diving is a normal operation from the research vessel Endeavor. All diving from the Endeavor is under the auspices of the University National Oceanographic Laboratory Systems (UNOLS) Research Vessel Safety Standards and the guidelines of the University of Rhode Island (URI) Research Diving Manual All scientific diving conducted from the Endeavor must be approved by the vessels Master and URIs Diving Safety Officer (DSO). All diving must meet the minimum standards of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS). ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES In a multi-institutional diving cruise, a lead Diving Control Board (DCB) will be designated by agreement of all DCBs involved. The procedures, rules and regulations that govern diving operations for that particular cruise will be those of the designated lead DCB. Cruise Planning An onboard Diving Supervisor will be proposed by the Principal Investigator (PI) and approved by the lead institutions DCB. It is the responsible of the Diving Supervisor to assure that all scientific diving is conducted in accordance with all applicable regulations.
New Jersey Scuba Diver - Weather depend on accurate marine weather forecasting for planning and safety, and we My recommendation concerning the weather and diving make your plans anyway and http://www.njscuba.net/misc/weather.html
Extractions: Weather Tides Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline frames. The weather forecasters, especially the marine forecasters, have been wrong a lot more than 50% of the time lately. Any marine forecast beyond tomorrow is pure guesswork anyway - the closest marine weather instruments are more than 50 miles away, if they are not broken ! Wave height sensors on Ambrose Tower have been off-line for years. Under such circumstances, the forecasters are covering their asses by issuing extremely pessimistic outlooks for many days that turn out to be nice. If you are waiting for that perfect forecast to go diving, you are going to be waiting a long time. Just get out and try your luck - you might be surprised. What it looks like to me Not only has the marine weather forecasting in 2003 become abysmal, it has also become uneven. Apart from the general wrongness, the forecasters are not even consistent among themselves. It appears to me that the forecasters work in three eight-hour shifts. The morning shift may predict 2-4 foot seas for the next day ( their standard "we don't really know" forecast. ) Then afternoon shift comes in. They are much more pessimistic, and will invariably revise the seas to 50% higher. At this point, the damage is done - everyone sees this awful forecast and cancels their plans. Finally, the evening shift comes in, and throws out the afternoon shift's forecast ( which almost always turns out to be wrong ) in favor of something more like what the morning shift had said earlier. And more often than not, when the sun comes up the next day, it turns out to be much better than any of them predicted.

Extractions: Anderson, Dick - Underwater photographer and pioneer diver.Pioneer diver Dick Anderson is one of diving's most entertaining humorist and a celebrity on the underwater film festival circuit for more than twenty-five years. A commercial diver, scuba equipment inventor, filmmaker, book author, magazine writer, treasure diver and underwater set designer, Anderson's life story is more fascinating than most Hollywood movies. Born in Portland, Oregon in 1932, Richard Eianer Anderson moved to Santa Monica, California at an early age. He attended Santa Monica High School and went on to Willis Business College. In 1946, at the age of 14, Anderson began spearfishing off the thinly populated coast of Malibu ? today a seaside colony for movie stars. In 1948, before there were any training or certification agencies, Anderson began scuba diving with a converted aircraft oxygen rebreather. His dive preparation often drew crowds of curious onlookers and he soon began making money salvaging items that were dropped off piers and boats along the Southern California coastline.
