How Scuba Diving Masks have changed

Today I've spent a lot of time researching dive equipment for the packages which we will be offering with our diving internships.  Technology and slickness has changed a lot since the 1600s when innovators such as Denis Papin and Edmund Halley made the first deep sea submersion in a diving bell a reality.

The next stage in the history of SCUBA was in 1823.  John and Charles Deane were awarded a patent for the diving dress and helmet.  The helmet was connected to a hose which ran to the surface and supplied the diver with fresh air, the diver had to remain upright otherwise the helmet would leak water. Augustus Siebe modified the Deane Patent Diving Dress by attaching the helmet to a waterproof suit, making the divers helmet waterproof and they didn't have to remain upright during dives.  It wasn't until the middle of the 20th century that a modern practical SCUBA unit was invented.  Source- adventure.howstuffworks.com
