Diving history covers thousands of years. Ancient people hunted and gathered food in a way that they used the implementation of the situation, and the Ama people in Japan Sea for the task, diving and catching fish by hand, and together with algae, mussels and scallops.
According to legend, King of Sumer, Gilgamesh was called in search of a magic plant to become immortal. His idea was to pick him out of the ocean floor and use weights to hold it under water while he held hisBreath.
Mark Antony, the leader of the Roman Empire, had fun at the fishing sport, but played unfairly by the use of divers, fish, put his lines in order to impress his audience.
At the time divers experience was limited by their ability to hold their breath. This problem was thought over and over again, and even Aristotle, the famous Greek philosopher, had his own idea to get an inverted potholes in the air for a diver to breathe. However, exhaled carbon dioxide would be the use of makethis device very dangerous after a while, so it could be carried out only for a short period.
Fifteenth-century illustrated manuscripts created easily primitive diving helmets, similar to Aristotle's idea of the device. Then diving bells were invented.
Divers were brought into the open water in these bells, and breathed the air that remained at the top. These dive balls were mostly used to gather cargo from shallow wrecks.
An assistant Boyle (a formula withmathematical relationship between pressure and volume of gas), named Robert Hooke, who invented the first Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) return s 1664th He equipped to lead a diver with a closed box that fed him with air. We do not know how successful this experiment.
To replace the bells were very difficult to maneuver, more light equipment, was introduced in 1720 by the British inventor of Lethbridge and Rowe. They used evidence from a barrel, their legs andArms outstretched. They were working in a position to as deep as 20 meters. You could even walk around the wreckage in small increments.
Much progress was made in 1779 with the invention of a pump with a small diving bell, by John Smeaton, a British engineer. Through a continuous supply of air underwater divers could work for a much longer time.
Then, nineteenth century, the early introduction of flexible wetsuits, with air through a hose from a pump on the surface is provided. Itallow divers to move under water with a lot more freedom. So this is the early history of diving. We work out for you on the subsequent history of diving in our future articles.
