These salt water diving ‘bells’ have been around for a long time. I have seen them or variations of them in several countries. Many, many years ago as a 10 year old I went into one (very stuffy and damp) in S. Cal at a ocean front amusement park (that park is long gone), the elevator mechanism got stuck for about half a hour down around - 30’ to -40’. There were about 9 adults and me, all of the adults started to panic. What a relief when it started back up. Through the windows, I did get to see a blue mako shark.

It was POP, or Pacific Ocean Park. Went there several times myself.

I'm from Germany, so I knew right away that there will be little to no marine life visible on these so close to the shore when I heard about it. So I wondered if they actually went ahead and built some artificial reef, sunken boat or whatever close to these to actually have something in view....but the reality is so disappointing. Would make more sense to have these in all other places but German coastline. =(

Definitely an interesting attraction for sure, maybe not amazing in the current water locations but if it expands it could be really cool to see in other places with different/clearer water.

I am from the region and also visited the diving gondola a couple years back. Even if the Baltic Sea isn't as clear I really love swimming their since it is less salty.

Local here. The Waters of the Baltic Sea aren't as clear as some may think. The most you'll see when you go down in the gondola are some common jellyfish or very small fish (that is if you are reaaaally lucky). You can't see very far (or at all on some days) because of the murky waters. We do have some porpoises swimming about in our small sea, buuuut they are very shy and rarely come towards shore. Some fishermen may see them from time to time, but thats also veeery rare. Sharks do live there, but really, no ones ever seen them, so they could as well be just a myth 🥴 (Some secret advice: Don't go visit the island in July or August if you hope for clear water, the currents change so the jellyfish are being redirected to the other side of the island. The water will be soooo full of them, I tell ya... with harmless and/or some stingy ones)

I was in one of these somewhere as a child. Nebulous memory at best...

Hellooooo Atlantic City had it back in the 70"s on Steel Pier!! I used to love to go on the diving bell!

I love how Tom can find the least known and most interesting topics then makes a video about it unlike any other channels

Here in the region this diving bell is not a secret. Can confirm, that there are fish. Saw 2 or 3 of them.

This is shot so well - in an unlikely way, one of the prettiest looking Tom Scott videos ever.

I liked it, but then I heard the sounds and I fell in love with it. This is crazy-cool engineering! Or maybe just crazy. :D

Interestingly ur showing me many thigns from my country I did not know about. Thanks for that!

I've actually ridden this gondola, but totally forgot about it until now.

Indeed going down there alone without a guide is boring once you're there. But there is one who tells all the background information on the marine life there and ours spent quite some time to explain how to correctly treat jellyfish stings ;-)

I have been on that when i was 9 years old. I just now realise how cool this thing was.

Evidently, the guys never been in boat with a cabin that has windows. His giddy excitement of the water coming up against the window as though it's some kind of unusual experience told me he needs to get out more. It's a very common experience in millions of boats around the world
