Best Answer

Cornelius Drebbel built the first workable submarine in 1620 using the 1578 plans of English mathematician William Bourne. The frame was constructed of wood, and it was wrapped with waterproof leather.

While in India Alexander the great was submerged in a diving bell to investigate the under-sea world.
