Men and women have long dreamed of venturing into the sea. Their efforts to travel as easily as fish in the water go back to the time of myth and legend. Museum exhibits trace the application of technology to make these dreams come true, from the first diving bells and aqualungs to the most modern submersibles and diving suits.
