Hugh Bradner, UC's inventor of wetsuit, dies Michael Taylor, San Francisco Chronicle Staff Writer Hugh Bradner, a UC physicist whose love of the ocean and curiosity about everything in it led him to revolutionize diving by inventing the
neoprene wetsuit, has died at his home in San Diego at the age of 92. "All his life, he had been interested in diving," Cornet, who is a faculty member of UC Berkeley's school of social welfare, said the other day. In the early part of World War II, Dr. Bradner had talked to Navy frogmen about the problems of being immersed in cold water for long periods of time. "He was looking at the notion that you didn't have to stay dry to stay warm," Cornet said.In 1951, experimenting with neoprene, a synthetic rubber-like substance, he found that it "would trap the water between the body and the neoprene, and the water would heat up to body temperature and keep you warm. He developed this in the basement of our house on Scenic Avenue in Berkeley," Cornet said. The wetsuit was officially invented in 1952. Dr. Bradner and a few of his colleagues created a small company to market what was called the "EDCO Sub-Mariner" suit, $45 for the short version and $75 for the "full suit," as an ad in a 1954 edition of Skin Diver magazine put it, according to the archives of Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla (San Diego County).
Cornet said, however, that her father never patented the invention and the wetsuit business venture foundered. The wetsuit was eventually adopted by divers and surfers all over the world. In 2005, the Los Angeles Times examined a half-century dispute about who was the real inventor of the wetsuit - the other two contenders for the title were two California-based firms that have made a fair amount of money from wetsuits. "In our little world, these were the guys who had produced the first surfing wetsuits," Matt Warshaw, author of "The Encyclopedia of Surfing" and former editor of Surfer magazine, said of Body Glove International and O'Neill Inc. Nonetheless, Warshaw added, "Bradner was the father of the wetsuit." This was corroborated in a lengthy paper by Carolyn Rainey published in 1998 by Scripps. By 1960, with his interest in oceanography well known in the scientific community, Dr. Bradner was recruited to UC San Diego, where he was on the faculty of Scripps and worked on several ocean-related projects, including experiments with scuba underwater breathing devices.

Your Certification Card...Don't forget if you recently took a program with Sunken Treasure to stop by the store and pick-up your permanent certification card or send us a SASE.

Are you signed up for the Saint Lawrence Seaway trip yet? It's almost full

But was it worth it? >>by Tracer DeCoursey "Bonaire" 2008, An International Marine Park, 50 miles north of Venezuela, South America. My name was on the list for the trip with Sunken Treasure Scuba Center. Partially packed and getting excited, I had extra memory cards and batteries for my underwater camera. I decided to sharpen my skills and take a "Fish ID Course" before the trip.  Greg Delker was the instructor, describing the different groups. Disks and Ovals, Silvery, Sloping Heads/Tapered Bodies Small Ovals, Elongated Bottom Dwellers and others. All have distinct features, different habitat and behavior, descriptions and phases, reaction to divers, from adult to juvenile with an array of different colors. Slide shows and discussions made this a very interesting course.  Previous trips took me inside shipwrecks and all the compartments I could get into or to see how deep it was at a certain place. With camera in hand and in Bonaire I was totally interested in great pictures and knowing what fish I was taking a picture of. " The Fish ID Course" changed my whole

perspective of the Diving Realm, changed my interests, "so to speak". I would highly recommend this course to anyone  interested in diving or snorkeling. Even if you don't own a camera you would benefit yourself because their is so much to see and learn.

Explore the past in the present with the PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course.

Wreck Diver... You drift down and pass through a window into the past. As you near the bottom, a recognizable shape begins to form. First, you see a straight line, then a round window. Next, a ship materializes in front of you. As you look at the wreck, past and the present meet. Whether sunk intentionally or tragically, whether a sunken ship, a plane or an automobile, the call of wrecks is nearly irresistible to divers. Through the

PADI Wreck Diver Specialty course, you get the skills, knowledge and procedures you need to answer the call of wreck diving. Must be a PADI Adventure Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization) and be at least 15 years old. Number of Dives: Four dives over two days Materials You'll Need: Wreck-Pak, which includes the PADI Wreck Diver Manual and Wreck Diving video. Certification counts toward the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating. The underwater world needs heroes. Be one. Learn how to conserve the aquatic environment Certification counts toward the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating. >>>>>>>Meets June 27 at Sunken Treasure Scuba Center at 7:00pm

Streamlining or web pages...We are trying to get our newsletter page a little easier to navigate and have added a travel page were you will find the latest information on such trips as North Carolina, Bonaire, the Bahamas and even Dutch Springs and the wavier needed to get in. There you can find out when we are going, cost and much more. We hope you like the cleaner look but remember to go to the Travel Page to find out the latest.

Delta - Northwest - United Airlines & US Air add fees for second bag....United Airlines will be charging some of its customers a new fee for checking more than one piece of baggage.
United fliers who purchase non refundable domestic economy tickets, and who are not elite members of the airline's frequent flyer program, will be charged $25 for a second checked bag beginning May 5, the company said Monday. In addition to the fee for a second bag, the cost to check in a third and a fourth bag will be $100 per bag for all customers.
No other airline has matched the baggage fee, which Chicago-based United estimates will generate more than $100 million annually for the company. But all the airlines are being pressured financially by rising fuel prices and other economic pressures, leading some analysts to believe other legacy airlines will soon follow suit in charging more for checking bags.

Airlines and Lithium Batteries...Effective January 1, 2008, the Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) will no longer allow loose lithium batteries in checked baggage.

For personal use, there is generally no restriction on the number of spare batteries allowed in carry-on baggage. That includes cell phone batteries, “hearing aid” button cells, and AA/AAA batteries available in retail stores, as well as almost all standard laptop computer batteries. However, you may carry no more than two larger batteries, in the range of 100 – 300 watt hour rating. These include some extended life laptop computer batteries, such as the “universal” lithium ion battery pictured below.

I Want MORE BOTTOM Time....With Enriched Air (Nitrox), you can get it...Take a minute and look at your dive tables! How would you like to increase your bottom time at 55 feet to 155 minutes or 80 feet for 55 minutes? Now with enriched air 36, you can. One of PADI's most popular specialties – is the PADI Enriched Air Diver course. Diving with enriched air nitrox lets you safely extend your no stop time beyond the no decompression limits for air. Diving with enriched air means more time underwater – but you need to be certified as an Enriched Air Diver to get enriched air fills.
Whether you're into underwater photography or wreck diving, on vacation in some tropical paradise or just out for a leisurely day of diving at your local dive site, the PADI Enriched Air Diver course helps you get more out of diving by giving you more time underwater and this counts towards your Master Scuba Diver program.
OK, I understand your diving here locally however you just might spend a $1000.00 for that special trip and have the chance to do a lot of diving (it's a dive vacation...dah).  Let's say you make three dives in one day, here is the profile:  Dive 1 - 62ft/35 min after a 1 hour surface interval Dive 2 is to 57ft/28min after another 1 hour surface interval your back down the reef to 52ft.  How long could you stay there?  Ok, I'll help.  On air you could stay for 34 minutes however if you did the book work at home and came to STSC for the one night class your bottom time could have been 90 minutes on Enriched Air 32%......HUMMMM.
Class is June 27th - 7:00pm at STSC. You should pre-register so you have your book work completed for the first night of class.

Looking for someone to dive with. Well anyone can go on the 6 Pak dives (check the schedule page for day & times) and/or check out the Scuba Club (Keystone Divers dive at every summer meeting). It's only your fault if you're not diving. Live the Adventure!

Dutch Springs a 47-acre lake is located off U.S. Route 22 a few miles north of Bethlehem, Penn., is about two hours from here. Dutch Springs is privately owned and has been set up exclusively as a dive training facility. Average visibility in the spring-fed former quarry is around 40 feet . Water temperature at the surface is in the mid 70s F in the summer, rising from about 38 degrees when the season opens in April. You'll hit the first thermocline right around platform depth, with a drop in temperature of about 10 degrees. At minimum, divers visiting Dutch Springs should wear a properly fitting full quarter-inch/6.5mm wet suit with a hood, booties and gloves. In the cooler months, using a dry suit is a good idea. Entries and exits are made from four wooden docks and a wide, pebbly beach, plus a surface platform with a ladder to simulate boat diving. There is plenty of things to see diving from a helicopter to a couple of airplanes, a fire truck, several boats, all connected to the training platforms by lines to facilitate navigation, and located at a depth of 60 feet or less. Dutch Springs also supports a healthy population of fish: crappie, bass, bluegill and goldfish. Fees are $32 for divers and $21 for nondivers on summer weekends. Season and group passes are available. For more information call (610) 759-2270 or visit www.dutchsprings.com.

Sherwood's New SR¹...... The SR¹ utilizes a pneumatically balanced second stage with a two-piece flow-through first stage piston for precise optimum balance and intermediate pressure control. The first stage is environmentally sealed featuring a dry-sealed spring chamber, two high pressure ports, five low pressure ports on a 360 degree swivel and is compatible with a yoke or DIN attachment. The second stage contains a SMART

demand lever and floating crown which reacts to depressurization and relieves the load on the seat, extending seat life while promoting consistent performance. Importantly, the second stage employs a unique single adjustment point to simultaneously set opening effort and high flow performance with one motion. The need to make separate adjustments has therefore been eliminated. The size of the SR¹ control knob has also been optimized to enable easy location and operation, even for a diver wearing gloves. The SR¹ packs its advanced technology into a compact case which employs contemporary styling and utilizes a multitude of cutting edge materials. Interested? Stop in at STSC.

Dive Tip... Buoyancy: While buoyancy checks are very important anytime you go several months without diving or have any gear changes such as exposure protection, nothing beats logging your weight and exposure protections on every dive. You may still have to alter your weight, but you will get off to a quicker start if you know how much weight you required on previous dives with the same exposure protection in similar conditions.

The Importance of "Buying Gear from Authorized Dealers"
Training vs. Learning... "A Good Diver Is Always Learning".
Should you own your own gear?

Air Card
Don't forget to get your STSC Air Card and save. Air fills are normally $6.00/tank however if you buy a ten pak air-card you get them for $5.00 each.
