Beebe, Charles 1877-1962. US naturalist,
explorer, and writer. His interest in
deep-sea exploration led to a collaboration
with the engineer Otis Barton and the
development of a spherical diving vessel, the
bathysphere. On 24 August 1934 the two men
made a record-breaking dive to 923 m/3028 ft.
Beebe's expeditions are described in a series
of memoirs.
