Trevor Jackson (diver)
Captain Trevor Jackson (born 26 November 1965) is an Australian technical diver, shipwreck researcher, author and inventor. In 2002 he staged what became known as the "Centaur Dive", which subsequently led to the gazetted position of the sunken Hospital Ship AHS ''Centaur'' being questioned. Jackson is the inventor of the 'Sea Tiger' lost diver location system, and an author on the subject of wreck diving.
==Centaur dive==
Jackson had doubted the accuracy of the Australian Government’s original findings for some time〔http://www.diveoz.com.au/regular_articles/readit.asp?p=3&a=8〕 before he and New Zealand diver, Dr Simon Mitchell, supported by a team of 15 back-up divers, staged a world record scuba dive to investigate the site. The dive took place near Brisbane on 14 May 2002, after nearly a year of planning.〔Dunstan,Matt (reporter) National Nine News,Brisbane ,Qld ,15 May 2002〕 At a depth of , the dive was the deepest scuba dive to a wreck undertaken at the time, a world record which held for several years.〔http://www.divetheblue.net/pdf/DiveMed120.pdf〕 A camera was taken to the bottom by Jackson but pressure related equipment difficulties meant that no usable footage was retrieved. Despite the lack of conclusive proof, the pair remained adamant for several years that the wreck they had seen on the dive was too small to be the ''Centaur''. Jackson was quoted on the ''60 minutes'' current affairs program: "this wasn't a wreck of the dimensions that the Centaur was which, you know, was 100m long. It was a much smaller thing".
〔"A Grave Mistake". Richard Carleton (reporter). 60 Minutes. Nine Network. 18 May 2003.〕 They suspected that the wreck was a small freighter called the ''Kyogle'', sunk in 1951 by the Royal Australian Air Force.〔〔http://www.environment.gov.au/coasts/pollution/dumping/history/pubs/sea-dumping-scuttled.pdf〕〔"Grave Mistake- the sequel". Richard Carlton. 60 Minutes. Nine Network. 29 June 2003〕 Eventually their insistence prompted investigations by the media and the Royal Australian Navy.〔Jackson, Trevor (2007). Wreck Diving in Southern Queensland. Brisbane, QLD.〕 It was subsequently shown that the ''Centaur'' was not where it had been assumed. In 2009 the Queensland Government approved funding for a renewed search for the lost hospital ship.〔Atkinson, Bruce (18 February 2009). "Companies show interest in Centaur search". ABC Brisbane. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/02/18/2494291.htm?site=brisbane. Retrieved 2 June 2009.〕 The true resting place of the ''Centaur'' was discovered in December of that year.
