started is life-time experience in diving
and the ocean at a young age in 1952. He grew up in
Imperial Beach, CA, south of San Diego. Cargile was in
the water of the Pacific Ocean, San Diego Bay and the
Tijuana Sloughs every moment possible. At the time, the
Tijuana Sloughs were pristine and clear. He started
underwater photography with good friend Ron Church in
1953 off La Jolla and Mexico.
In the early years of diving, Cargile designed and built
most of his own diving and underwater photography
equipment.
He went into the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves during high
school, going on Active Duty after he graduated. Cargile
started college while still in the Marine Corps. He
transferred to the Marine Corps Active Reserves
|
 |
while he attended college full time at San Diego City
College. He graduated with an A.A. Degree in Science from San Diego
City College in 1960.
Cargile enrolled at San Diego State University, majoring
in Physics, with minors in Math and Chemistry.
Early in college, Cargile was a Lifeguard at La Jolla
Shores, near Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where
he dove with several ocean research groups.
Later in college Cargile was a Test Engineer for San
Diego Gas & Electric Company, a Test Engineer for
General Dynamics Astronautics on the Atlas/Centaur
Missiles, and a member of the Atlas/Mercury Launch Team.
At the end of his fourth year at San Diego State
University, he was recalled to Active Duty in the Marine
Corps for the Cuban Missile Crisis and became a member
of Marine Force Recon. Part of his training was going
through modified U.S. Navy UDT Training. Since then, he
has gained considerable additional military, commercial
and scientific diver training and experience.
As a civilian in 1963, he became a Research Engineer on
the Apollo Spacecraft for the Space Division of North
American Aviation (which became North American Rockwell
and then Rockwell International).
Cargile completed his B.S. Degree in Physics in 1963 at
North American University.
In 1964 Cargile was appointed Engineering Supervisor at
Rockwell International, in charge of the Apollo Test
Data Processing Unit. This included all Apollo
Spacecraft testing, data acquisition, processing,
presentation, and storage. The experience was later the
basis for technology transfer to the ocean industry.
He continued his education, earning a Masters Degree in
Systems Management in 1965 from North American
University. This Masters Degree Program was related to
the Apollo Program, NASA and UCLA.
His secondary responsibility at Rockwell International
was doing most of the diving and underwater equipment
testing, and being the Corporate Diving Officer.
Cargile’s diving and engineering testing at Rockwell
International included the U.S. Navy Target Torpedo
System, ASW Weapon Systems, UDT/SEAL Team Diver
Transport Vehicles, Diver Ergonomic Test Studies,
Mixed-Gas Breathing Systems, Diver Sonar and Pinger

Throughout his engineering career, Cargile continued
diving, perfecting his underwater photography skills,
designing and building diving and underwater photo
equipment, and gaining additional diver training.
While at Rockwell International, Cargile’s diver
training included Air and Mixed-Gas Diving at the
Underwater Technology Institute, and several military
and commercial diver programs.
He was an early Diving Instructor with PADI, NASDS and
CMAS. For many years Cargile has also been a Commercial
Diving Instructor and Military Diving Instructor in
various underwater specialties.
When Rockwell International formed the Ocean Systems
Operations Division during the mid-1960s, Cargile was
asked to join. He was in the Ocean Sciences Department
headed by Dr. Andy Rechnitzer. Other members in the
Ocean Sciences Department included --- Dr. John Radbill
(CalTech graduate and computer programmer), Dr. Bob
Ballard (before he led the team to discover the
Titanic), Dr. Tony Christianson (who designed several of
the Scubapro diving regulators) and Dr. Dick Terry (USC
graduate and noted marine geologist).
Cargile was on assignment from Rockwell International to
the U.S. Navy UDT/SEAL Teams in 1967-1968. He was an
operational member of an 8-man Research, Development,
Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) UDT/SEAL Team. The RDT&E
Team was organized to test and evaluate the latest
underwater systems and equipment, develop advanced
underwater combat techniques, and conduct diver
performance and physiology studies.
In addition to Cargile being a diving member of the
8-man RDT&E Team, he was responsible for engineering
modifications of existing systems, designing new diving
equipment for combat in Vietnam, and writing engineering
reports. Dr. Bill Vaughn was doing diver performance
studies on the RDT&E Team. Cargile worked with Dr.

Upon returning to the Ocean Systems Operations Division
of Rockwell International, Cargile and fellow diver Jack
Harris (UDT Chief, Retired) co-authored the Combat
Swimmer Delivery Vehicle Development, 1939-1967 for the
Commander, Naval Operations Support Group, Pacific. This
recently declassified report was featured in the UDT-SEAL
Association magazine, The Blast.
He trained U.S. Navy UDT personnel in the recovery of
the Apollo Spacecraft, which Rockwell International
designed and developed.
Cargile was Project Engineer, Test Diver and Corporate
Diving Officer. He was responsible for all the company
divers and the Diving Locker at the Rockwell

Cargile was Pilot, Lockout Diver and Diving Officer on
the undersea research deep submersible Beaver IV for
Rockwell International. Beaver IV was launched in
September 1968. Christening of Beaver IV was by Nancy
Reagan (when Ronald Reagan was Governor of California,
before he became the U.S. President).
Beaver IV was an advanced deep submersible that could
dive to 2,000 feet and lockout mixed-gas breathing
saturation divers to 1,000 feet. Beaver IV could mate
with an underwater capsule developed by Mobil Oil for
seafloor oil completion systems to depths of 2,000 feet.
Cargile was the Transfer Engineer from Beaver IV to the
Underwater Mating Capsule.
Beaver IV could also mate with U.S. Navy submarines and
undersea habitats like Sealab III down to 2,000 feet.
