Saturation Diving

Allan Waterfield began saturation diving in the late 19 fifties. His research at the university of new hampshire focussed on how humans responded to the pressure of being under water. Every ten meters a diver descends in the ocean, the weight of the water above increases by one atmosphere. This means it only takes a few feet of depth under water for the pressure to be so immense lungs can't function properly. Diving is the answer to this problem, surface supply. But according to him, life in these environments is not all that exciting.
