in this awkward outfit, hampering every
free movent, dependent upon hundred
and one favorable conditions, the diver
braves the unknown dangers lurking far
below
From the instant the helmet is screwed
down and the helper grasps the life line
and lowers the diver hand over hand,
the click-click-clck Of the pumps bring

water pressure. The click-click-clicl,
