Diving technology dates back to the 4th century BC when diving bells were used to trap pockets of air underwater. By the late 1700s technology progressed to diving suits supplied with air by hoses connected to a boat on the surface. SCUBA (Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) would not appear until the 1950s and allowed divers much more freedom than surface tethered bulky dive suits. Since the development of SCUBA, public interest increased and it became a popular form of recreation for those looking to explore shipwrecks and reefs around the world. Scott 2865
