Ancient Egyptians experimented with archaic diving techniques along the Nile long before the sound of contemporary regulators reverberated beneath the surface.
The desire to breathe underwater is as old as civilization itself, dating back to the earliest days of snorkeling with hollow reeds and the collection of priceless pearls.
Pharaoh-era divers left behind archaeological marks that are still being found today, providing a unique window into the beginnings of underwater exploration.
Breath-hold diving, weighted stones for deeper descents, and even simple goggles fashioned from animal horn or tortoise shells were examples of innovative ancient technology.
Fast Fact: Centuries before scuba diving even existed, early Greek divers collected sponges using bronze helmets.
The Industrial Age unleashed a wave of diving technologies.
Surface-supplied “hard-hat” helmets with hand-pumped air enabled deeper and longer descents, revolutionizing salvage, underwater construction, and first glimpses of shipwrecks on the seabed.
The turning point? Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, or SCUBA, made famous in the 1940s by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Émile Gagnan.
Suddenly, mobility, safety, and freedom underwater reached new heights—ushering in a golden era for recreational diving worldwide.
