Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How British Columbia became an international hotspot for submarines, submersibles, Newt Suits, underwater robotics and a host of other cutting-edge undersea technologies. In Deep, Dark and Dangerous, maritime historian Vickie Jensen explores the fascinating story of British Columbia’s rise to become a world leader in the underwater tech industry, tracing BC’s colourful history and bright future as a front runner in the world of subsea technology innovation. This little-known saga began with the remarkable story of Pisces I. In the early 1960s, two commercial hard-hat divers from the Vancouver area, Don Sorte and Al Trice, and engineer Mack Thompson realized that they needed a small manned submersible with robot arms for deep-sea work. They couldn’t find one to buy, so they decided to build their own. Experts told them such things could only be built in specialized facilities and it would be suicidal to try a home-made version. Just over two years and $100,000 later their Pisces I was successfully making two-thousand-foot dives. The three innovators formed a company called International Hydrodynamics (HYCO) as orders started to arrive from around the world. In the process of building some fourteen submersibles, HYCO would serve as an incubator for a generation of experts that would launch an entire industry of subsea companies in BC. Drawing on her background in documenting both history and industry, Vickie Jensen uncovers stories, both historical and current, detailing the submarines, submersibles, robots, torpedo recovery technology and inventions that are responsible for BC’s remarkable and continuing subsea reputation. Written with colour and flair, this is a fascinating and exciting story that anyone can enjoy.

Book excerpt: Ever want something so much there is nothing you wouldn't do or give to get it? That happened to me. I wanted to be a Hydronaut, explorer of the ocean abyss.When I was a kid just old enough to consider the question, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" there were two U.S. space programs, both driven by the Cold War. NASA's sent men into orbit and for a time to the moon and back. Every kid alive then wanted to become an astronaut. But when I realized they'd never get out of orbit to live Hollywood space adventures on other planets in my lifetime, I wasn't one of them.But the U.S. Navy's "Inner Space" program was already exploring alien worlds. It regularly sent men into the abyss, a place much stranger and more hostile than the moon or Mars to explore and work. It, too, used science, cutting-edge technical innovations and clever improvisations to explore those hidden realms and thus come to understand the three-quarters of Earth undersea. The biggest difference between NASA and Navy was in the resources expended for mission success. NASA employed thousands of people and spent billions to conduct space missions. In contrast, for the dozens of deep submergence missions I later participated in, we had . . . me.I may be the only guy who ever set out as a boy to become a hydronaut and did. I had to plan for years, tailor my life, work way too hard, and damn-near die more than once to succeed. But as a hydronaut I DID enter alien worlds, encounter real aliens, make first discoveries and map regions never before explored. With one or two others, I went to places on Earth that no one before and no one else will ever journey. And it was my plans and my charts that took us there and brought us back.30,000 Leagues Undersea: True Tales of a Submariner and Deep Submergence Pilot, tells the story of how I did it, and all that happened down there.

Download or read book The Dive written by Stephen McGinty and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An undersea adventure narrated from the suffocating depths of the ocean floor—as time and oxygen are quickly running out—The Dive is the harrowing and heroic story of the rescue of submarine Pisces III. They were out of their depth, out of breath and out of time. Two men, trapped in a crippled submarine. Outside was pitch darkness and the icy chill of the ocean’s depths—and the crushing weight of 1,700 feet of water. On the surface a flotilla of ships and a rescue operation under the command of an eccentric retired naval commander. For three days, the world watched and held its breath. On August 29th, 1973, a routine dive to the telecommunication cable that snakes along the Atlantic sea bed went badly wrong. Pisces III, with Roger Chapman and Roger Mallinson onboard, had tried to surface when a catastrophic fault suddenly sent the mini-submarine tumbling to the ocean bed—almost half a mile below. Badly damaged, buried nose first in a bed of sand, the submarine and the two men were now trapped far beyond the depth of all previous sub-sea rescues. They had just two days’ worth of oxygen. Rescue was three days away. The Dive reconstructs the minute by minute race against time that took place to first locate Pisces III and then execute the deepest rescue in maritime history. Ricocheting from the smoke filled ‘war room’ at Vickers, the world famous ship-building headquarters, in Barrow-in-Furness, to the surface vessels and then down to depths where three separate dive teams and the mini-submarine struggled in darkness, this thrilling adventure story shows how Britain, America, and Canada pooled their resources into a ‘Brotherhood of the Sea’ dedicated to stopping the ocean depths from claiming two of their own. Yet at the heart of The Dive is the human drama is the relationship between Roger Chapman, the ebullient former naval officer, and Roger Mallinson, the studious engineer, sealed in a sunken sarcophagus, with air quickly running out and help a long way off. For three days they would battle against despair, fading hope, and carbon dioxide poisoning, taking the reader on an emotional ride from the depths of defeat to a glimpse of the sun-dappled surface.
