	Diving bell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A diving bell is a cable-suspended watertight chamber, open at the bottom, that is lowered underwater to operate as a base or a means of transport for a small number of divers.
		As a wet bell is lowered, the extra pressure from the water compresses the gas in the bell.
		A similar principle to that of the wet bell is used in the diving helmet of standard diving dress, where compressed air is provided to a helmet carried on the diver's shoulders.

	Diving bell spider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The diving bell spider or water spider, Argyroneta aquatica, is a spider which lives entirely under water, even though it could survive on land.
		Since the spider must breathe air, it constructs from silk a diving bell which it attaches to an underwater plant.
		When the air bell is ready, the oxygen from the water moves into the bell so the spider has always something to breathe.

	Diving (underwater) - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		The earliest reference to underwater diving techniques occurs in the manuscripts of the Greek philosopher Aristotle, which refer to a diving bell used by forces of Alexander the Great to clear the harbor at Tyre in 332 bc.
		This contraption, shaped like a bell, was actually a large wooden barrel that a diver could place over the head and upper body while walking on the bottom of the sea.
		Diving bells are also used to transport commercial divers to their underwater workstations.

	History of the Diving Bell (Historical Diving Times No. 21)
		It is generally agreed that the diving bell invented by Edmund Halley is undoubtedly the forerunner of the modern diving bell.
		The bell, or "chest" inasmuch it was rectangular in a manner similar to that of Smeaton's, was made of cast iron, again with a force pump at the surface, operated by four men; unlike the Smeaton chest, the force pump was topside and not on the roof of the bell.
		Recognising that some accounts of performance in diving bells may be a bit overblown in view of the physiology, the history of the diving bell remains a fascinating story of human inventiveness, engineering skill, courage and exploration.

	What diving is?
		As water entered the casks, the air in them was forced through the tubes into the upper part of the diving bell, which was kept clear of water by the pressure of the air.
		By means of a technique known as saturation diving, scientists are able to live in and work around such stations for extended periods without the risk of developing a disease known as the bends.
		Based on the principle of the diving bell, it consisted of a leather jacket fitted to a metal helmet into which air was pumped from the surface through a flexible hose.

	Diving Bell - Background, History, Raw Materials, Design, The Manufacturing, Quality Control
		A variety of diving equipment was invented in the nineteenth century, leading to workable diving helmets connected by hoses to an air supply on the surface.
		He showed that the diving bell could be a valuable way-station for a deep diver, supplying not only breathable gas but also electricity, communication devices, and hot water to heat the diving suit.
		In other words, if the bell was designed to withstand the pressure found at a depth of 600 ft (183 m), 282 psi, the manufacturer subjects it to pressures found at 900 ft (274.3 m), or 415 psi.

	Diving (underwater) - MSN Encarta
		Smaller submersibles are used in deep diving to transport hard-hat divers to and from workstations.
		In a type of diving called saturation diving, the diver’s body becomes saturated with gas mixtures corresponding to the working depth.
		The hazards in saturation diving are much like the hazards of living in a space station.

	Chronology
		The bell had the shape of a frustum of a cone in which the main elements are the valves.
		The French scientist Freminet invented a helmet-hose diving apparatus, in which air was pumped from the surface with an egg-shaped reservoir and it reached the diver through a hose.
		Motion with such a diving suit was impossible as a result of the strong hydrostatic pressure which caused the parts of the suit to squeeze.

	Diving bells and observation chambers
		Later bells were made of cast iron and very large and heavy compared to the traditional diving bells.
		The air-pressure inside the bell is kept at the ambient water-pressure on the bottom of the bell, so that the inside is kept dry.
		Diving bells and observation chambers evolved to the modern diving bells and chambers that are still in use today.

	HISTORY OF DIVING: SELECTED EVENTS
		In the late l600s the bell was refined and in 1691 a sizable and sophisticated bell was patented by Edmund Halley.
		This bell was ventilated by lowering barrels of fresh air, and dives were made to 60 ft for 1.5 hr; divers made breath-holding excursions from the bell.
		Progress in diving, from 1837 to present, was dependent on two factors: improvement of the air compressor and the study of hyperbaric physiology.

		More diving is taking place in contaminated sites, either through involvement in clean up operations such as the Erika incident off the coast of France in 2000, or the decommissioning, and making safe of old installations.
		The prototype equipment was installed in diving bells on four diving support vessels over the course of six months, and left to run during the dive contract period.
		The Bell Unit analyses and measures the gas content in the diving bell, updates its alarm indicators, and transfers the information to the Topside Repeater which shows the same information at the surface.

		The bell was held stationary a few feet from the surface, its bottom open to water and its top portion containing air compressed by the water pressure.
		He could leave the bell for a minute or two to collect sponges or explore the bottom, then return for a short while until air in the bell was no longer breathable.

	Who invented scuba diving? - Answerbag (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Some of the earliest diving bells didn't have the hose, the only air supply available to the 'diver' was what was originally in the bell, ya could say they were "self contained," but the restricted air supply restricted activity and length of time under water.
		This was still hardhat and not free swimming diving and depth was limited since there was no self regulating pressure device.
		The diver was still tethered to the surface by a hose that pumped air into the tank, but he could disconnect the hose and dive with just the tank on his back for a few minutes.
