Beamount Ayanz and solved the problem by incorporating two different channels: one for air intake and one for the expulsion, which is accommodated human breathing through valves. This allowed the mechanism to fit the different teams of diving bells, diving suits and even a few boats that could be closed down and up into the water like a submarine.
