Undersea Benthoscope dives aim for 6000 feet depth
Boston scientist Barton plans a major ascent and lighting tests for the Benthoscope, a steel diving bell, with attempts to reach 6000 feet off California. Previous dives reached 4500 feet in darkness, and new cameras will document marine life while a desert light-reflecting layer at 1500 feet may be studied.
