A Bathyscaphe (pronounced Bath-escape) is a specialized deep-diving type of submarine. a Bathysphere is a special deep duty version of a Diving Bell- is captive and controlled by a surface crane vessel- has no buoyancy, ballast tanks or the like- if the Cable snaps- it"s a long way Downnnnn! the Bathyscaphe, however can independently move, dive, surface and so on.
Words with the root "bathy" typically relate to depth or deep places. For example, "bathysphere" refers to a spherical deep-sea diving vessel, while "bathymetry" is the measurement of the depth of oceans, seas, or other bodies of water. These words are commonly used in oceanography and geography to describe the study and exploration of deep underwater environments.
Bathyscaphe
Bathyscaphe Trieste ended in 1966.
The Bathyscaphe is a type of deep-sea submersible that can explore the depths of the ocean. Scientists used a Bathyscaphe to study deep-sea habitats and organisms. The Bathyscaphe descended to the ocean floor to collect samples for research purposes.
1929
Sea Pole class bathyscaphe was created in 2009.

It is called a bathysphere. Horse Isle answer: bathysphere
A bathysphere is a spherical deep-diving chamber with perspex windows, in which people can be lowered by a cable to study oceans and deep sea life.
A Bathysphere, you would implode that deep with just an oxygen tank. But good luck;)
let us differentiate between the two. a Bathysphere is essentially a form of Diving Bell developed by Otis Barton and William Beebe in the early thirties, it is suspended by a crane on a surface ship and cannot maneuver on its own. the original Bathysphere is on display- not in the best repair at the New York Aquarium at Coney Island. now a Bathyscaphe from Greek words for Deep Ship or Deep Boat- correctly pronounced Bathys-SCaiff- but popularily (Bath-Escape)- like that sound, is a type of Submarine Vessel ( according to the Funk and Wagnalls encyclopedia) designed for extreme depths, the whole upper hull is in effect ballast tanks. the Bathyscape has a rudder and props and can maneuver independtly- unlike the Bathysphere which is a form of captive diving bell. The Bathyscape was devised by August Piccard, the Swiss scientist who was also a high-level balloonist- he wrote a book- hard to get by the way- Ten miles high ( Balloon) Two miles deep (Bathyscaphe). the first Bathyscaphe was made in Italy in l947 by Navalmeccanica ( an Italian Naval yard) the Trieste I was also made by this outfit, with a Krupp-built ( German) pressure vessel which enabled the desc dent to the bottom of the Marianas trench- over 35 Grand (Thousands of feet) in the early sixties. Piccard, Jr, and Navy officer Lt. Donald Walsh crewed the Trieste I (there was a later Trieste II- both are now, and for good acclaim- museum pieces. the Bathyscaphe X ( prototype) went down two miles in Itallian waters before the Trieste was built, by the way, both made in Fair Italy. still waters run deep.
