The Historical Diving Society

THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL
OF DIVING HISTORY

In April 2005, The Historical Diving Society published the first issue of a prestigious new journal under the above title. The journal will provide a much needed outlet for the many historians and researchers now working in this field, and is expected to become the focal point for anyone with an interest in the subject

Volume one (number 1) contains the following papers: The development of the One-Atmosphere Suit by Michael Borrrow and Michael Humphries, relating in particular to the revival of the JIM suit and its subsequent evolution. The salvage by William Phips of the Spanish galleon Concepción by Nigel Phillips, which includes much new material related to the diving and divers derived from unpublished contemporary papers, and the use of divers and the diving bell in nineteenth century England for education and entertainment purposes by Michael Fardell.

The journal is issued free to members of the Historical Diving Society.
