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.
