It was a touristy kind of "ride." Eight or ten people got in, they sealed the door, and a cable took the bell down into the ocean. After looking out the window at the fish for a few minutes, they released the cable and the bell popped back up to the surface.

As I recall that was in the late 50s or early 60s at the end of pier somewhere on the California coast. I don't recall exactly where. I was very young at the time.

That was a cool tourist thing I did back in 2018.

I've also been to Death Valley if only above water counts.
