    Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson is a true story of a few ordinary men risking everything to solve a World War II mystery, which even governments had not been able to budge. One is introduced to Bill Nagle at the start of the book. He is given a location of the mystery object from a fisherman. Nagle is the caption to the Seeker and had a feeling that this dive will be a life changer. So he meets with John Chatterton, the only man that he can trust on a dive like this one. Chatterton has been diving for almost his whole life and is known as one of the best divers in the world in 1991. Nagle and Chatterton proposed a plan to take six top divers to the site and see what was down there. On the first dive Chatterton finds out that the object is a submarine and in a later dive finds that the submarine is a German U-boat. They know this because of a peace of china Chatterton found with an eagle and the swastika, the symbol of Hitler’s Third Reich on it. Chatterton also found a knife with the name Horenburg hand carved into the handle. The problem is that they do not know what U-boat they just found. All records show that no German U-boat was sunk in that area. To solve the mystery Chatterton has to bring Richie Kohler on board because Nagle is dying from liver poisoning. Kohler is also one of the best divers, yet Chatterton and Kohler do not get along very well. Kohler tried to steal one of Chatterton’s dive sites a long time ago, when the two first met. Over time Chatterton and Kohler become best friends and spend six years of their lives trying to solve the mystery of the German U-boat. Within the six years they found tons of artifacts that do not get them any closer to finding the name of the U-boat. The only major clue was the name Horenburg, yet there was only one Horenburg and he died in a U-boat 2,000 miles away on another U-boat. After, Chatterton and Kohler had leaped over many hurdles and had lost almost…

    Gerry Mullen, CEO of Red Lobster restaurants, has been faced with a dilemma. He recently received an email from Terry Modotti, Vice President for Public Relations concerning the lobster retrieval in La Mosquitia, also known as the Mosquito Coast. The article states that many of the young working men are being killed and maimed to make lobsters available at cheap process to consumers in the United States. The men, known as buzos, must dive up to 130 feet for lobster, and face dangerous decompression sickness which begins with paralysis and ends in a slow death. This is due to the fact that there are no medical or decompression facilities on the boats, and there is also no equipment to aid the divers as they ascend to the surface of the water. However, there has been effort taken to try and help this negative situation on the Mosquito Coast. A non-profit organization, Sub Ocean Safety (SOS), founded by Bob Izdepski, was set up to help divers by installing decompression chambers allowing divers to gradually be brought to the surface. However, the divers do not reach the surface within the allotted five minute period which is needed for the chambers to be effective. SOS would also like to see regulations on diving—control over the number of dives per day, safety equipment on boats, and a limit on the lobster season to maintain the lobster population. Being the CEO of Red Lobster for a mere two years, Gerry has to make a decision as to what course of action he is going to take concerning this dilemma. There are many options that Gerry could execute--each complete with advantages and disadvantages; but Gerry needs to make a decision on only one option. By investigating the advantages and disadvantages of each option, I will be able to accurately advise Gerry as to which course of action to take.…

    Rational and Background. This Bridging Program for the BS Mechanical Engineering and BS Electrical Engineering to BS Marine Engineering program started when Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) reported to Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) that there was a lack of qualified marine officers and recommended that there should be a Special Program to qualify mechanical engineers for the Licensure Examination as Marine Engineer Officers. This idea was recommended to CHED for consideration. Hence, the Commission reviewed the existing curricula of BSME and BSEE and compared these to the BSMarE curriculum. The Technical Working Group in Engine together with the qualified technical experts from the academe, industry, professional organizations, government concerned agencies including Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) and other stakeholders undertook the development and revision, making sure that the national standards and STCW requirements are incorporated. It has also undergone further review by the members of the Technical Panel for Maritime Education (TPME), Task Force on Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering of CHED, before it was…
