Abysses: L'odyssée Des Hommes Sous La Mer

By overcoming the challenges posed by extreme pressures, cold, and lack of light, industrialists, scientists, and the military have, in barely a century and a half, lifted the veil on these unknown territories, populated by fascinating creatures. It is this history that Abysses, the odyssey of men under the sea, proposes to discover, from the birth of oceanography to the appearance of heavy-footed divers, from the invention of the autonomous diving suit to underwater habitat experiments, from the first hand-propelled submersibles to today's remotely operated robots.
