Bathyspheres

= = **__Bathyspheres __** Bathysphere is a spherical boat that has portholes is connected to a ship by a cable. It is used to dive into the deep waters of the ocean for underwater observation. It was used from 1930-1934 to conduct dives on the coast of Bermuda. Although 1928-1929 it was created for use by an American zoologist named //William Beebe// and an American engineer named //Otis Barton//, to study undersea wildlife. Beebe and Barton made their first dive in 1930 which was the first time a Marine biologist observed deep-sea life in its natural environment. Later on they set the world record for deepest dive at 3,028 feet on August 15, 1934.Soon enough, they discovered problems with the Bathysphere. Some of them being that it was hard to maneuver and had many risks to it, and since it has to connect to a vessel at all times, a break in the suspension cable would mean death for those inside of it.
