  • Some hydroid specimens were collected by SCUBA diving from 10-25 m deep at Uljin (Nagok) and Jejudo Island (Munseom, Beomseom, Supseom). Among the identified species, three species Eudendrium racemosum (Gmelin, 1791), Sertularella diaphana(Allman, 1886) and Schizotricha divergens Naumov, 1960 are new to the Korean fauna.

  • A new species of the genus Jaspis (Demospongiae: Astrophorida: Ancorinidae), Jaspis coreana n. sp., is described on the specimen collected from Geomundo Island, Korea during September 1995 to March 2002 by SCUBA diving. This new species is characterized by two sponges association which is completely covered with Poecilastra wondoensis except for oscules. This new species is similar to J. wondoensis in its spicules type, but different in their spicules size, form of oscules and sponge colour. J. coreana has a large oxyasters and longer megascleres than J. wondoensis, oscule cluster and golden yellow colour in life.

  • This paper reviewed the diving standards for underwater work in hostile environment and analyzed applied Navy diving technique, diving equipments and procedure for rescue operation of Navy ship Cheonan's missing crew occurred near Bak Ryung Do in March 2010. The operation was done beyond the international standards and safety practice, and by considering the nature of the mission, urgency and effectiveness as well as the detailed facts such as duration and depth of the dive, type of work to be performed, environmental conditions, time constraints of early rescue operation, it is analyzed that using air scuba diving system was adequate.

  • Ocean monitoring facilities are divided into two types, fixed type and floating type. This paper deals with wane load calculation and mooring system for a floating monitoring facility. Wave load and drift forces are calculated for an example case of floating monitoring buoy To enlarge holding power of anchor, circular pile model test was performed. A program for horizontal force of circular pile in sand was made and the calculated result showed fairy good agreement with the result of model test. It is expected that this method will provide good estimation for the holding power of the prototype of circular pile anchor which is relied upon SCUBA activity for installation.

  • As people have gained leisure time and become more interested in sports, various industries catering to these sports, including aquatic and underwater activities are growing. Many people are getting into scuba diving, where people can explore the sea at depths of more than 40-meters. Despite the increasing demand, there are limited studies on the sport. This study aims to provide basic research on materials suitable for developing technical scuba diving suits by analyzing several areas, such as design, material, sewing patterns, etc. The following trends were observed in all wetsuits: closure designs, ergonomic patterns, practical and functional details. Neoprene was the primary material of diving suits, and various functional materials were attached to the outer fabric or lining. The seam technique which minimized water contact and improved durability was sewing. Various techniques were also applied, such as flatlock stitching, GBS, LFS, etc. Subsequent studies shall investigate consumer preference etc. and other aspects, and continue to allow for the research and development of technical diving suits.

  • A maldanid polychaete, Axiothella quadrimaculata Augener, 1914, is newly recorded in Korean fauna. Genus Axiothella is found for the first time in Korean waters. The specimen was collected in the Eisenia bicyclis bed by SCUBA diving. The species is described with figures and the key to genera was revised. Including this Axiothella quadrimaculata, a total of 18 species representing 13 genera are known to the Korean Maldanid polychaetes.

  • This study intended to understand similarity of image between games and position of image attribute perceived by consumers according to the games of marine sports using MDS (Multidimensional Scaling). Through the foregoing, this study aims to provide preliminary data for establishing marketing strategies for games of marine sports by accurately understanding images of marines sports perceived by consumers. For survey targets, this study selected students of K University located in Gyeonggi-do as a population, and extracted samples using convenience sampling out of non-probability sampling methods targeting 200 students who showed intention of participation in this study, and total 188 sheets of questionnaire were used as final data excepting 12 sheets that are filled up unfaithfully or considered unreliable. For data processing, this study conducted Frequency Analysis, Descriptive Statistical Analysis, Reliability Analysis, MDS (Multidimensional Scaling) and Multiple Regression Analysis, and study results show that water ski and wakeboard(.602) have the most similar image attribute, indicating that image attributes of scuba diving and water ski(2.031) are positioned farthest with each other. As for image attribute, image attribute of water ski has appearance and progressiveness, windsurfing has an image attribute of positive, scuba diving has an image attribute of negation, and marin rafting has an image attribute of friendliness.

  • The spawning characteristics of Hexagrammos agrammus and Hexagrammos otakii was directly observed in coastal regions of the Yellow Sea and South Sea during the spawning seasons using scuba diving. The territorial male H. agrammus showed different body size, nuptial coloration and nest location compared to those of H. otakii, even though both species caring egg masses were found at the almost same depths. In the West sea, a relatively small guardian H. agrammus male protects 1-2 egg masses laid on a clump of red algae within his territory. The territorial males in red nuptial coloration and their egg masses were well camouflaged in their surroundings. Contrary to H. agammus, a guardian H. otakii male in yellowish nuptial coloration protects 4-8 egg masses in a nest. In addition, their nests were located on the relatively open environments such as discarded fishing nets, rock crevices and a clump of algae. The results of present study shows that even though both of two species belonged to Hexagrammidae, they have different strategies for spawning and protecting their egg masses.

  • A taxonomic study on marine sponges was conducted with materials collected from Gageodo Island, Korea, from August 1999 to July 2001 by SCUBA diving. Among them, Phorbas gukhulensis n. sp. is new to science. Phorbas gukhulensis n. sp. is similar to P. fitictius Pulitzer-Finali from which it differs in spicule size and growth form.
