Specialty Definition: Bathysphere

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A bathysphere is a spherical deep-sea diving submersible which is lowered into bodies of water with a cable. Bathyspheres have a variety of uses, usually including the study of underwater life.

At extreme depths, the cable becomes unmanageable. Deeper dives must be performed by self-propelled vehicles such as the bathyscape.
