There are different types but the most advanced- crew inside and supplied by air from the surface- the whole works is supported by a large floating crane with plenty of extra lines- hoist and air- they have gone down thousands of feet.

The Bathysphere of William Beebe and Otis Barton- still intact at the NY Aquarium is typical of the advanced diving bells- used around l934. Bells vary widely in size. in l9ll a German ( judged from his name) made a descent in what was called a Hydrostat that went down over l600 feet, breaking all records. this craft, as an aerostat is a balloon, may have had something akin to ballast tanks. The Bathyspheres, being captive had no natural buoyancy,- if the cable snapped- look out below!

Bells usually have thick glass viewing ports for observation and are also called by the rather broad term of Observation chambers.

Several with maybe a l2-man capacity plus operator have been used on captive hoist sites at Amusement Parks, these have a spring-assisted surfacing feature mimicking the ( Blow negative) effect on a submarine. Good fun and if in open water- like those at Atlantic city- some fishy sight seeing as well.

What would water pressure have on a diving bell?

It would increase proportional to depth. All of this is figured out in engineering calculations long before the Bell is built and operated. Therefore there are no pressure gauges ( though there might be for air-recycling) inside the bell, which usually is cylindrically shaped. The ones I was one many years ago at Coney Island had no instruments per se- but had a vertical stack of three push-buttons for the up-down and elevate to dock functions, a switch controlling the air-scrubber, a fan of sorts, and a lever somewhat similar to a railroad brake valve or hand-brake lever- this was the ( Blow Negative) which released a powerful hydraulic spring- and sprang the bell to the surface. The operator would assure everybody was holding onto the safety handrail before shouting (Blow Negative) and flipping the lever- Buzz-Zoom-Pump! on the surface in little over a second. past joys now gone at Coney Island.

Who was the first person to to go in an underwater diving contraption?

The first person to use an underwater diving contraption is generally considered to be Greek philosopher and engineer Archimedes, who designed a primitive diving bell around 250 BCE. However, the first recorded use of a diving bell for underwater exploration is attributed to Sir John Smyth in the late 16th century. His design allowed for extended underwater stays, paving the way for future advancements in diving technology.
