EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the 1910s depicts a brave diver wearing the most advanced breathing apparatus for underwater exploration in 1913. The front view shows the diver with a determined expression on his face, wearing a bulky yet intricately designed breathing outfit. The apparatus consisted of a nose clamp and a mouthpiece connected to a waistcoat-style breathing bag, which was carried on his back. This innovative equipment allowed him to dive to depths of approximately 200 feet and stay underwater for about an hour, expanding the boundaries of underwater exploration. The back view of the photograph reveals the complex network of tubes and hoses that connected the various components of the breathing apparatus. The diver's outfitted outfit, complete with protective gear, showcases the dedication and innovation of the early 20th century pioneers in underwater exploration. This photograph is a testament to the human spirit of adventure and the relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
