A bathysphere is a spherical deep-sea diving submersible which is lowered into bodies of water with a cable. Bathyspheres have a variety of uses, usually including the study of underwater life. At extreme depths, the cable becomes unmanageable. Deeper dives must be performed by self-propelled vehicles such as the bathyscaphe. The term bathysphere is composed from the greek words βάθος (bathys), "depth" og σφαίρα (sphaira), "sphere". See alsoExternal links
