Limited edition giclée print of Deep Sea Divers from The Jobs of Yesteryear Series.

Free diving for food or resources such as pearls and coral dates back to 4500 BCE. Since then, our ability to survive below the surface radically evolved with many technological leaps along the way. One of the earliest types of equipment for underwater exploration was the diving bell, which evolved into surface supplied diving helmets attached to a waterproof suit in the early 19th century. They were supplied with compressed air by manually operated pumps and made underwater projects much more practical. Many developments followed, including the futuristic atmospheric diving suits. Another major leap came in the form of the Aqua-Lung invented by two Frenchmen in 1943 as the first open-circuit SCUBA system to reach worldwide and commercial success.
