UNIT 13 - B3 (P136, 137)
Most of the world’s surface is water. We may know the land very well, but you know very little about the ocean.
Until recently, man could not stay under water for long. A pearl diver, for example, couldn’t stay underwater for longer than two minutes. But now, with special breathing, a diver can stay underwater for a long time. After invention of this equipment, man could swim freely underwater and scuba – diving became a popular sport.
A French, Jacques Cousteau (1910 – 1997), invented a deep-sea diving vessel in the early 1940s. In the vessel, he could explore the ocean of the world and study underwater life.
Now, we can explore the oceans, using special TV cameras as well.
We can learn more about the sea world thanks to this invention.
