Thanks, JES.
The answer to the following question shouldn't be too difficult to track down online.
"Dive" magazine is the current independently edited and published full colour diving magazine contracted to the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) to be its journal.
In which year did the BSAC's first magazine appear? What was the club's first magazine called? When the magazine changed its name for the first time, what new name was chosen?

I am not too knowledgable of British dive history, so here are my guesses: In which year did the BSAC's first magazine appear? 1962What was the club's first magazine called? TritonWhen the magazine changed its name for the first time, what new name was chosen? Diver MagazineI await my evaluation. Allan

Allan:
Like the "curate's egg", parts of your answer are good. "Triton" was the second name adopted by the BSAC's magazine and "Diver" the third. I was looking for an earlier name and year.

You are right. How about 1954 and Neptune?

Well done, Allan. You've now got every part of the question right. Peter Small, a young journalist, founded "Neptune" in 1954. My source for the question was www.bsac.com/about/trailblazers.htmlOver to you now to ask the next question. David

Since Peter Small's name came up in this, and since no one has offered a new question, please research and find out how Peter Small died? As a hint, it was on a dive that helped revolutionize commercial diving techniques. As a second part of the question, with whom was he diving? The third part of the question is what was the name of another diver who passed away on this dive, and what were they trying to do?

They were testing mixed gases at depth for use in submariner rescues and found the mixture suitable to depths of 1000 ft+.

Duckbill got it right, but I wanted more recognition for Chris Whittaker. Here's an exerpt of an article: Chris Whitaker's second dive was the one that apparently stopped the chamber's leak, and therefore saved Hannes Keller's life. I wanted Chris to get the recognition he deserved on this, as he gave it his all. What I'm also trying to point out is how these kinds of tragedies affect not only the diving community, but also the families of the divers and their loved ones. This was why I wanted to ask these questions. Simonbeans, thanks for your patience. Here's the whole article that discusses the dive: www.divernet.com/history/1202atlantis.htmJohn PS--I think both Duckbill and Simonbeans should soon present some questions, as they have earned that place.

For all of us who fell in love with diving because of Sea Hunt. In the episode entitled "The Female", which originally aired during Season 2 on July 19, 1959, a beautiful woman (Lynn Bemay) plots revenge against Mike after flunking out of his class for scuba instructors. This episode (number 68) also starred Wayne Mallory and Frank Kirby. It was written by Art Miller and Directed by Leon Benson. In a scene where Mike is demonstrating hose clearing and mask clearing the 5 instructor students are arranged to show these skills. Of particular interest is the male instructor in the lower left. He is a bit different from the others. Question: What is unusual about this diver in relation to the others of the group?Here is a photo of this scene: Allan
