Trevor Jackson (diver)

Captain Trevor Jackson (born 26 November 1965) is an Australian technical diver, shipwreck researcher, author and inventor.

[13] These ships included the Danish dredger Kaptajn Nielsen,[14][15] the USNS Dolphin,[7][16] the SS Dover,[17] and the SV Missie.

[18] Jackson's research into the exact position and depths of shipwrecks is currently being utilized by the Australian Hydrographic Office for new editions of admiralty charts for Queensland.

[21] In January 2009 Jackson was involved in the Australian National Maritime Museum's discovery and initial survey dives of the 19th century historical Australian shipwreck, HMCS Mermaid [1829],[22] and the Queensland Museum's discovery of the SV Waverley [1889] near Thirsty Sound, Qld, in March later that year.

[30][31] The system draws upon the 'deliberate error theory', utilized by US Navy pilots during World War II to relocate their aircraft carriers.

More significantly, it involved the development of buoys tested and weighted to exactly replicate the drift characteristics of non-swimming divers on the surface of the ocean, and the use of timed and measured vessel manoeuvres.
