The importance of scuba investigations of reefs has been borne out by studies on The Great Barrier Reef, the results from which indicate the necessity for collection of rock samples while observations are being made. The futility of wielding a hammer effectively underwater has therefore prompted the design and development of a hand-operated pneumatically powered drill, at present capable of providing a 20 mm by 300 mm core in water depths down to 20-30 m. The instrument is composed of three parts - a rotary pistol drill, an impact attachment, and a rotary core cutter (Fig. 1).
