not to my knowledge; it made the front covers of Je Sais Tout & Popular Mechanic magazines! It featured electric lights and a telephone and was launched from a derrick...occasionally in Long Island Sound!

not to my research inquiry; modern equivalents can go to 700 meters: the one in the thread puzzle weighed 550 lbs; made it to 213 feet: and wasn't watertight!!? Their principle utility is that one does not get the 'bends' from wearing one.
