| The origins of diving are firmly
rooted in man’s need and desire to engage in mari-time
commerce, to conduct salvage and military operations, and
to expand the frontiers of knowledge through exploration,
research, and development. Diving, as a profession, can be
traced back more than 5,000 years. Early divers confined
their efforts to waters less than 100 feet deep, performing
salvage work and harvesting food, sponges, coral, and mother-of-pearl.
A Greek historian,Herodotus, recorded the story of a diver
named Scyllis, who was employed by the Persian King Xerxes
to recover sunken treasure in the fifth century B.C.From
the earliest times, divers were active in military operations.
Their missions included cutting anchor cables to set enemy
ships adrift, boring or punching holes in the bottoms of
ships, and building harbor defenses at home while attempting
to destroy those of the enemy abroad. Alexander the Great
sent divers down to remove obstacles in the harbor of the
city of Tyre, in what is now Lebanon, which he had taken
under siege in 332 B.C. |
