The Aqualung, Jim Suit And Deepsea Challenger
Challenging the Deep
Where would we be in deep sea exploration without technology? Soon I will answer that question, but for now let's see where we are. The Aqualung is a device that started the line of deep sea equipment. Next was the Jim Suit. For this reason, the Deepsea Challenger. The Aqualung, Jim Suit, and Deepsea Challenger are all portions of technology that have contributed to deep sea exploration.
First and foremost, In the 1940’s one of the first underwater devices was invented, the Aqualung. This idea was created by an underwater explorer named Jacques Cousteau. This invention was great for divers of all kinds because it lets you breathe underwater. So what exactly did it look like? An article called “Dive Technology” explains this, “The Aqualung was a metal oxygen tank attached to a breathing tube that controlled the flow of oxygen. It was strapped with a harness to a diver’s back.” The Aqualung was significant to underwater research.
With the Aqualung you could go underwater for only minutes at a time, but the Jim Suit lets you dive for hours. What’s the Jim Suit? According to the article “Dive Technology”, the Jim Suit was “Based on Astronauts’ Space Suits, the Jim Suit protects wearers from deadly water pressure and contains built-in oxygen.” The Jim Suit was said to be safe and …show more content…
As a result, the Deepsea Challenger was made. The Deepsea Challenger was a one-man submarine invented by filmmaker James Cameron in 2012. What made this innovation different from all other submarines was its design. An article called “Lights, Camera, Invention!” explains further, “Cameron’s design is an example of advance technology because it sits vertically in the water. This allows it to descend faster, rotating as it goes to keep it on course.” The Deepsea challenger made success with a record dive. It went seven miles down to the deepest place on earth, the Mariana
