No. Aristotle first described one in the 4th Century BC. But the first working one was created and used by Guglielmo de Lorena in 1535. Over the course of the next 150 years or so other people such as Franz Kessler, Denis Papin improved the design , although Edmon Halley is credited with designing a diving bell that was able to stay under water for prolonged periods of time.

The only invention i think he invented was the diving bell. It was a bell that allowed divers to stay at about 60 ft (18 m) for an hour and a half under water. The bell is made of a wooden shell with windows to let in light from the surface. Air was supplied to divers through leather tubes connected to air casks that could be lowered into the water when needed. These early inventions led to the development of more sophisticated diving bells that are used today.

Who invented the diving suit?

1823 Charles Anthony Deane, an English inventor, patents a "smoke helmet" for fighting fires. At some point in the next few years it is used as a diving helmet as well. The helmet fits over a man's head and is held on with weights; air is supplied from the surface through a hose. In 1828 Charles and his brother John Deane market the helmet with a "diving suit." The suit is not attached to the diving helmet but only secured with straps; thus the diver cannot bend over without risking drowning. Even so, the apparatus is used successfully in salvage work, including the removal of some canon from the Royal George in 1834-35
