L'INCONNU A TOUJOURS \u00c9T\u00c9 UN TERRAIN FERTILE<\/strong> for mythology, and the oceans have long inspired legends and tales of gods and monsters. From Neptune and Poseidon to Jules Verne, the Kraken, Atlantis, and Namor\u2019s undersea Maya kingdom, Talokan (recently portrayed in La Panth\u00e8re Noire : Wakanda Forever<\/em>), the oceans have led us to dream and sparked our sense of wonder. But alongside the oceans\u2019 mysterious unknown is something tangible and real to inspire us and take hold of our imaginations: diving. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For many people, diving brings to mind an image of the average recreational diver with a standard mask, snorkel, fins, and regulator. Yet there is far more to humanity\u2019s subaquatic ventures than this commonplace equipment \u2014 the history of diving is filled with an array of oddities and eccentricities that wouldn\u2019t be out of place in science fiction. This fascinating universe has captured my interest for many years and recently compelled me to begin the Diver Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To kick off the project, I visited the History of Diving Museum in the Florida Keys. I had found the museum by accident several years ago while visiting my brother and sister in Islamorada, Florida. While driving along the highway on our way to dinner, I was drawn in by the unusual signage on the building, which featured a large Mark V dive helmet and an impressive underwater mural. \u201cWe are going there,\u201d I barked at my siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabriqu\u00e9 par Hagenuk, le scaphandre atmosph\u00e9rique Iron Duke est un exemple impressionnant de l'ing\u00e9nierie du d\u00e9but du XXe si\u00e8cle. Ce scaphandre de pointe a permis aux plongeurs d'explorer des profondeurs auparavant consid\u00e9r\u00e9es comme inaccessibles et a ouvert la voie au d\u00e9veloppement de la technologie de plong\u00e9e moderne. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Made of nearly half a ton of bronze and steel, the Iron Mike was designed to withstand incredible pressure and allow for deeper dives than previously possible. While too stiff to bend in open air, the suit\u2019s arms become pliable with increasing depth and water pressure.

L'int\u00e9rieur du mus\u00e9e \u00e9tait une corne d'abondance de gadgets \u00e9tranges et d'\u00e9quipements bizarres que j'esp\u00e9rais photographier dans le cadre de mon projet, ce qui m'a donn\u00e9 l'inspiration dont j'avais besoin pour commencer. Je suis retourn\u00e9 au mus\u00e9e en f\u00e9vrier 2023 et j'ai commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 photographier le merveilleux \u00e9ventail de casques et de combinaisons de plong\u00e9e atmosph\u00e9riques expos\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The museum\u2019s helmet collection is truly remarkable. The photos with this article are only a small fraction of what I\u2019ve captured on camera, and what I\u2019ve photographed is just a tiny portion of the museum\u2019s vast collection. I\u2019m sharing some of my personal favorites, beginning with helmets the Deane Brothers designed for firefighters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renowned for their firefighting helmets in the early 19th century, the Deane Brothers later realized that their innovative design could be adapted for diving. As I perused the museum\u2019s collection, I was amazed to see some of these early dive helmet reproductions on display, including the first commercially manufactured dive helmet from 1832.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roberto Galeazzi a con\u00e7u et construit cette tourelle d'observation dans les ann\u00e9es 1920 pour l'observation et l'exploration sous-marines. La tourelle pouvait \u00eatre mont\u00e9e sur la coque d'un navire ou d'un sous-marin pour permettre une vue claire de l'environnement sous-marin. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ce mod\u00e8le embl\u00e9matique de 1948 du scaphandre atmosph\u00e9rique Galeazzi pr\u00e9sentait une forme sph\u00e9rique unique, qui offrait une plus grande mobilit\u00e9 et une plus grande souplesse au plongeur. \u00c9quip\u00e9 de diverses articulations et de plaques m\u00e9talliques flexibles, le scaphandre permettait une amplitude de mouvement plus naturelle. Le scaphandre pr\u00e9sentait \u00e9galement des caract\u00e9ristiques avanc\u00e9es telles qu'un syst\u00e8me de climatisation int\u00e9gr\u00e9 pour r\u00e9guler la temp\u00e9rature, ce qui en faisait l'un des scaphandres de plong\u00e9e atmosph\u00e9rique les plus innovants et les plus fonctionnels de l'\u00e9poque.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another favorite from the museum\u2019s collection is Iron Mike. Whenever I show it to people, they always seem to have the same reaction: \u201cHey, that looks like a Minion!\u201d But don\u2019t let its cute appearance fool you \u2014 this dive suit was a workhorse. Designed by Thomas Connelly of the Empire Marine Salvage and Engineering Corporation of New York in the early 1930s, the suit was truly ahead of its time. What made the Iron Mike suit so innovative was its use of a metal alloy in its construction. Oher dive suits of the time were typically made of copper or brass, but the Iron Mike suit was made of a lightweight and durable bronze and steel alloy that allowed it to withstand the intense pressure of deep water. Ironically, however, there is no iron in Iron Mike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deep-sea Galeazzi atmospheric dive suit (ADS), developed by Italian engineer Roberto Galeazzi in the 1930s, allowed divers to descend to depths of up to 300 meters (984 feet) and stay underwater for extended periods. What\u2019s truly remarkable about the Galeazzi ADS is its unique articulated joint system, which enabled divers to freely move their arms and legs while exploring the depths. The suit was made of cast aluminum and was completely airtight, allowing it to maintain its shape and structural integrity even under the most extreme pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Les
Les deux premiers casques de plong\u00e9e ont \u00e9t\u00e9 fabriqu\u00e9s \u00e0 partir de fers \u00e0 repasser et de pots de chambre. La n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 est parfois la m\u00e8re de l'invention. Le troisi\u00e8me casque est une reproduction du casque \u00e0 fond ouvert mis au point par John et Charles Deane en 1932. Inspir\u00e9 de la technologie de lutte contre les incendies, avec sa conception \u00e0 fond ouvert et sa construction m\u00e9tallique, ce premier casque de plong\u00e9e commercialis\u00e9 a ouvert la voie \u00e0 l'\u00e9quipement de plong\u00e9e moderne.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My favorite image from my time at the museum is a portrait I took with the help of the museum\u2019s executive director, Lisa Mongelia, and her friend Sharky, who worked at a local dive shop. Sharky had recently invested in a full Mark V suit and was enthusiastic about having his new suit photographed for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I captured some photos of both Sharky and his friend, Les Burke, posing in the suit. Burke was a Navy diver and one of Carl Brashear\u2019s trainees. Brashear was the U.S. Navy\u2019s first African-American master diver and was immortalized in the film Hommes d'honneur<\/em>, starring Robert DeNiro and Cuba Gooding Jr. Burke hadn\u2019t worn the Mark V suit since he retired from the Navy, so it was meaningful for him to put it on once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divers revere the Mark V dive helmet, which is the most widely recognized \u2014 and collected \u2014 dive helmet. Capturing a good shot of a diver in the Mark V suit, complete with the standard-issue Navy dive light, was special to me and epitomized the look I aim to create as I continue to make art that focuses on the world of diving. There is so much to explore, and I\u2019m looking forward to upcoming shoots in California and the Pacific Northwest as well as future trips to Florida and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
