The development of SONAR, SCUBA and submersibles since the 1950's haspermitted man to greatly intensify his exploration of the sea to search foreconomical harvests of natural resources such as food, minerals and oil.Scientific observations with submersibles actually began ,with the tetheredBATHYSPHERE in 1932 when William Beebe and Otis Barton dove to 900 m in thewaters off Bermuda {Ref. 1). Their technical success and biological reportsencouraged the design and use of other surface-connected as well asfree-roaming vehicles for undersea investigations, e.g., FNRA III {Refs 2,3) SOUCOUPE SP 350 {Ref. 4), Deepstar 4000 (Refs 5, 6), ALVIN {Refs 7, 8,9), TURTLE and SEA CLIFF (Ref. 10), JOHNSON-SEA-LINK (Refs 11, 12) andPISCES IV (Refs 13, 14). Today, only two of these vehicles regularlyconduct oceanographic research.
