The timeline of underwater diving technology is a chronological list of notable events in the history of the development of underwater diving equipment. With the partial exception of breath-hold diving, the development of underwater diving capacity, scope, and popularity, has been closely linked to available technology, and the physiological constraints of the underwater environment.
Primary constraints are
- the provision of breathing gas to allow endurance beyond the limits of a single breath,
- safely decompressing from high underwater pressure to surface pressure,
- the ability to see clearly enough to effectively perform the task,
- and sufficient mobility to get to and from the workplace.
