Diving Bell

A diving bell is a strong, sealed chamber used for underwater exploration, typically tethered to a surface vessel. It allows divers to work at significant depths without needing to wear bulky diving suits. The bell is filled with air, providing a breathable environment, while preventing water from entering. As it descends, the pressure inside is adjusted to keep it safe for divers. Initially developed in the 16th century, diving bells are still used today in underwater construction, research, and deep-sea exploration, enabling safe access to environments that would otherwise be too dangerous for divers alone.
