Monday Morning Entertainment For You
To get your first morning break this Monday morning I suggest that you enjoy this little snippet of a film from the dive days with the Triton submarine in the Bimini waters from back in 2009. It’s just a short film at 1:42 so I think you can be afforded that break.

In Search Of Trey’s Propeller
Note: There are two videos for you to see here on this post
Losing a propeller can be a costly affair and to add to the damage it may take quite a while for a replacement to be available.
Recently one of our long standing friends lost one of his propellers as it suddenly broke off at the shaft. Initially his thoughts were that they had hit something, but he soon came to realize that one of the propellers was missing.
Backtracking over his recent course his made his best guess at where this had happened and made a note of the coordinates.
Upon return he contacted Brownie’s Marine Group’s CEO, Robert Carmichael, and asked if he was up for the task of trying to find it and with luck salvage it. Robert of course jumped right on board for the challenge and mustered a gang consisting of Errol, Bill, Alan and Me (Mikkel) and this Saturday we took of in search of Trey’s propeller.
It was a beautiful morning and we took off just as the mornings first rays from the sun started to appear. We convened at the dock at the back of the Brownie’s Southport Diver store and loaded the boat and eased off out towards the sea. Port Everglades was buzzing with practically a rush hour of cruise liners either docked already or just about to and just outside the inlet even more were on their way.
The ocean was about as flat as anyone could have wished for so it made our about one hour travel time to destination pleasant and smooth. Portuguese man of war were plenty abound on the surface on our way there and they glistened in the sun light as the light really broke through.
Arriving at the coordinates that Trey had marked, we dropped the anchor and ran through our dive plan. We were going to set up as two dive teams, sending in the first team and in case they would return empty handed, we would send the second team for another try. Using Halcyon under water scooters, the so-called Halcyon HDVs, we would make a criss cross sweep pattern in the hopes that at some point we would spot the treasure: Trey’s Propeller.
Well, it turns out that we were lucky and not least that Trey had made absolutely a brilliant job at guessing and estimating the point of where he lost the propeller, so within about 15 minutes the first team spotted the propeller.
Errol Surfacing After The Propeller Had Been Located
Bill Surfacing After The Propeller Had Been Located
They resurfaced and were handed a rope to tie to the propeller so that we could hoist it up. They attached an 80 lbs liftbag to the propeller, but seeing the propeller probably weighed around 150-200 pounds that did not do much, so from the surface we sent down a big lift bag (probably it was a 500 lbs liftbag), which they then attached and that certainly helped. A little bit of gas into the liftbag and it soon ascended up through the water column up to the surface.
Meanwhile top side crew had rigged up the small davit which would prove really helpful in hoisting the propeller up from the surface onto the boat without damaging the boat. Everything went really smoothly and efficiently.
We were running way ahead of the schedule as we had planned to get the first dive in commencing about 9:15 am, and now it was 9:14 am and already we had the propeller safely onboard.
This also spelled great news for our friend Trey as a propeller like this easily could run upwards US$ 20,000 and not only that, he would probably have to suffer a delivery time of about 3 months.

We have compiled this little video below from the propeller treasure hunt.
Since we had planned for contingencies in case we would have trouble finding the propeller, and since we found it so quickly, it meant that we not only had loads of breathing gas, but also lots of extra time to spend. And seeing we were in such wonderful waters near Bimini it would have been a great shame not to go and have a leisurely dive just for fun and the sights.
Alan Scouting The Beautiful Dive Site
Robert looked at the chart and suggested a spot for us to dive nearby. The spot turned out to be a real oasis of wonderful wildlife and we had a great dive there. We split up into two teams consisting of Robert and Bill, who would be diving the great Brownie’s VS Third Lung (the revolutionary all battery powered hookah diving system developed by Brownie’s Marine Group) and the other team consisting of Errol, Alan and Me all on open circuit systems.
It was a beautiful and very relaxing dive and we enjoyed the company of a majestic nurse shark, a moray eel, many lobsters, lion fish, hordes of barracudas, a puffer fish and a stingray and many, many more different fish.
The Revolutionary All Battery Powered VS Third Lung In It's Right Element
This leisure dive, however, also has come to serve as our first dive of many, many more to come in future in our launch of our Gulfstream initiative for Project Baseline. Project Baseline is a brain child of Global Underwater Explorers (GUE) and the project’s mission is to protect our world’s aquatic environments and the clean water supply on which they depend.

First Video From The Triton Submarine Sea Trials In The Bahamas
Brownie’s Marine Group wishes everybody a very fantastic and happy New Year. We hope you have entered well and in style and wish you the best year ever.
As mentioned in an earlier post, we were recently supporting the sea trials of the new Triton 3300/3 submarine in the deep waters of the Bahamas.
During the days of these sea trials we managed to capture a bunch of photos and quiet a bit of videos too. Personally, I was happy to make my way way there for a few of the days and was very glad to partake in the event.
Here is the first of the videos that came out of the trip.

Very Cool Boatbuilder Display At The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
As we come to the last day of the year, I was looking through some of the video footage that I just recently offloaded from one of my small pocket video cameras and I came upon this footage of a very cool boatbuilder display from the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (also known as FLIBS).
The display has had its presence at this show for at least a couple of years, but I enjoy it every time I see it. It really works (and of course this video does not really do it justice) and it always draws a lot of positive attention from the crowd – just check out the little kid in the video below.
It’s a great set up consisting of great boat models resting on large computer screens put together that shows continuous wakes in the water as if made by the boat models. I thought you might enjoy it too.
Happy New Year.
PS. Stay tuned for videos from the very recent sea trials of the new Triton Submarine filmed in the Bahamas.

Leading developers and manufacturers Brownie’s Marine Group Inc. and Triton Submarines LLC team up in strategic partnership
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., November 15th, 2011 — Building on previous years’ collaboration Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. (OTCBB:BWMG), a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of highly specialized dive and safety product and Triton Submarines a leading manufacturer and developer of submarines teamed up as strategic partners at the recent Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIPS) where the new 3300/3 Triton Submarine was introduced and the Brownie’s VS was showcased.
Interest for the unexplored realm of the world below the surface is rapidly growing and these two products present some of the best avenues available for doing so. The VS is the new revolutionary all battery-powered surface supplied air diving system that Brownie’s has spent three years developing. This is the ultimate diving system particularly suited for the family and recreational diving. The system vastly surpasses every performance compared with other battery-powered systems on the market and comes at a price point often lower than systems it is often compared to.
The Triton 3300/3 met its first introduction at the FLIBS this year (Image above shows the 3300/2 Triton). It has been specially designed to be able to take 3 passengers in utmost comfort to a depth of just about 3300 feet. The special design makes for essentially panoramic view from comfortable sitting position in air conditioned climate at pressure equal to the pressure we have at the surface, thus eliminating any need for decompression. The submarine comes with easy maneuvering handled with a joy stick and touch-screen controls and its size and dimensions have been specially designed by probably the most experienced submarine team to be able to be usable with private yachts. The special design also allows for entry and exit of passengers resting on the surface, where as many other designs require the submarine to be hoisted up onto the deck of a vessel, an operation that takes a considerable amount of extra time and expense.
The visitors at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show showed great interest in both products and several Brownie’s VS were sold and several highly interested potential clients signed up for upcoming demonstrations of the Triton submarine.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show Is Upon Us
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is soon here again, commencing on October 27th and running through October 31st.
As usual Brownie’s Yachtdiver are presenting all the toys any yacht owner could possibly wish for with their booths located at the Main Entrance Tent (booth 51) and in the Super Yacht Builder’s Tent with Yacht Chandlers (at booth 708 through 713).
Brownie’s Marine Group super successful new Hookah diving system will be on display, featuring the Brownie’s Third Lung VS335 – the all battery driven portable and floating dive compressor friendly to the environment.
The VS Third Lung - Battery Powered and Sporting Real Dive Performance
Also on display will be the new Triton 3300/3. The submarine will be located at the VIP entrance adjacent to the Pavillion.
Remember that the Triton Subs are also the ones making the Triton 36000/3 Submarine.
This is the submarine that we would recommend those with ambitions of going to the deepest of depth on earth. Indeed this submarine is even capable of going all the way down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench some 36000 feet below the surface. And we can think of at least one notable person who might want to sit up and listen and perhaps come study this undersea craft.
The presentation of the Triton 36000-3 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show marks its debut on the market.
The Triton series of deep submersibles, in four models, represent the only submersible designs in the world today developed specifically to meet the requirements of yacht based use.
Spectacular visibility, extraordinary surface stability and excellent freeboard coupled with state-of-the-art technology make the ABS-certified Triton the safest, most comfortable and most advanced deep submersible in the sea.
Often imitated, but never equaled, the Triton is unashamedly built with extreme attention to detail by a group whose collective 331 years experience in the civil submarine business is unequalled.
After all, you wouldn’t want to take your loved ones to 1000 meters in a cheap, poorly constructed submarine, would you?
The world’s most advanced submarine company, Triton Subs, and high pressure glass fabricator Rayotek Scientific, have joined forces to design a full ocean depth submersible that will revolutionize man’s relationship with the deep ocean.
With a planned descent rate of 500 feet per minute, the deepest spot in the ocean, at 35,800 ft., can be reached in approx. 75 minutes.
The Triton 36,000 Full Ocean Depth Submersible’s pressure hull utilizes Rayotek’s patented manu-facturing process and proprietary technologies to produce a sphere of high-strength specialty glass.
Glass has been successfully used in deep submergence for more than 40 years and some spheres have been rated to almost 30,000 ft. (9,000 meters).
Rayotek’s proprietary technology is capable of overcoming previous manufacturing limitations and producing perfect spheres of sufficient diameter to accommodate three occupants. By incorporating no metallic elements or through hull penetrations in the pressure boundary, the design takes advantage of the fact that up to a very high limit, glass becomes stronger with greater compression.
The Triton is designed for both scientific and commercial work, and requires a minimum of support equipment and personnel.
All life support is internal to the pressure hull and control and monitoring functions are carried out by wireless fiber optic systems that transmit light through the glass hull as projections on the inside walls controlled with touch-screen functionality. The glass is
protected from point impact by internal and external acrylic sheaths.
Brownies Marine Group Enters Into Joint Venture with Pompano Dive Center
PRESS RELEASE
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., October 17th, 2011 — Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. (OTCBB:BWMG), a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of highly specialized dive and safety products, announced today that it had entered into joint venture arrangement with Pompano Dive Center (“PDC”) in Pompano Beach, Florida.
The joint venture will place Brownie’s unique and highly innovative dive systems in one of the most active boating and diving communities in the country. The Pompano Dive Center will also act as a training and demonstration site for Brownie’s products; PDC also offers complete SCUBAPRO and HALCYON product display and service. Alongside the retail store, PDC owns and operates several dive boats in Pompano Beach, Florida at the Sands Harbor Marina on the Intracoastal Waterway at the intersection with Atlantic Boulevard and within view of the beach. A classroom for training divers on Brownie’s dive systems enhances the value of the PDC joint venture for Brownies and diving enthusiasts.
Robert Carmichael, CEO, stated: “We are enthusiastic about the potential of adding another great exposure point and the first full-time experience center to our vertically integrated plan. The new battery powered ‘VS’ dive system is causing many boating enthusiasts to embrace hookah diving as their primary dive method. The outstanding performance and convenience of the VS dive system is making hookah diving mainstream. We believe that the VS will provide a boost to the more mature SCUBA industry by bringing in new divers. The relationship with PDC will provide in-water instruction and demonstration dives. The adage ‘OTIWATO’ (One Test Is Worth a Thousand Opinions) rings particularly true as we witness snorkelers and veteran scuba divers alike, return from their first VS experience, they are amazed at the sensation of minimal gear, incredible performance, and great mobility.”
Mr. Carmichael continued: “To further increase our sales force skill, the Pompano Dive Center will serve as the training and demonstration site for Brownie’s Marine Group dealers and distributors globally. Here we will invite new and current dealers to test our groundbreaking technology as we shape the new sports category of recreational hookah diving. In a sense, this is a coming home for Brownies. Brownie’s originated as a company in Pompano Beach in 1969. It is fitting that a new chapter for our company begins here.”
Jeremy Jarosky, Pompano Dive Center CEO stated: “I would like to echo Robert’s enthusiasm, as we have long admired the commitment to quality at Brownies Marine Group. We are proud to be a part of the Brownie’s Team and look forward to adding significant visibility to diving and the underwater world and making it more accessible to everyone.”

The US Powerboat Show In Annapolis
The US Powerboat Show in Annapolis is in its second day today and Brownie’s Marine Group is present here following up with a new booth from the US Sailboat Show that finished Monday.
Rain has visited the show especially yesterday, which was not too inviting for visitors to the show, but still interest for the VS Third Lung in particular runs high and it seems that we have great opportunities to explore further in that market.
Robert has sent us some images of rainy mornings before the crowd started to come in.

Last Day Today For The 2011 United States Sailboat Show In Annapolis
It is the last day today of this year’s United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis.
Robert Carmichael, CEO of Brownie’s Marine Group, who together with his wife Robin, has represented Brownie’s Marine Group at our booth there, reports of great interest once again for the revolutionary VS Third Lung:
“The VS is awesome at the show. We are booking orders each day at the show”, Robert Carmichael reported in a brief communique last night.
And this is no wonder. Sailboat owners have a great need for cleaning the hulls of the sailboats during the season when the boats are in the water. Probably as often as once every fortnight a hull cleaning is necessary in order to prevent build up of algae, barnacles and whatnot. The cleanup is necessary for all boats, but especially those sailboats that participate in races will appreciate a completely clean hull, so that the boat cuts through the water more efficiently and speedily.
Our All Battery Powered VS at FLIBS 2010
The VS is the perfect tool for making you able to go down underneath the hull to clean the boat thereby avoiding having to raise the entire vessel out of the water as would probably be the other alternative.
Sailboat owners also appreciate that the VS is all battery powered, whereby they avoid having to deal with hazardous fuel. This is a great benefit both from a safety point of view, but also when considering storage requirements and possible nuisance from spills and smells, the all battery powered VS Third Lung Hookah diving system is the right choice. “It has such a small size which is great for stowing it away on any boat, and yet is so powerful that it will meet with most applications you would need a hookah diving system for. And remember it also is available in a tiny Hand Carry version or in built in boat versions”, added Mikkel Pitzner from Brownie’s Marine Group.
Like stated in the beginning of this post, it is the last day today of this year’s United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, so if you have not yet been to visit us there and if you are in the neighborhood, hurry on down to see us.
