Next to the Great Siberian Railway, the Deep Sea Divers, was a smaller concession that utilized real divers. Wearing huge metal suits inside a large aquarium adorned with props and artistry, they appeared to be treasure hunters searching for sunken wealth among dangerous sharks and sea (artificial) creatures.
Description
A barker with sailors and a helmeted diver would 'help' convince visitors to enter the attraction, of course for a fee.
Divers employed by the United States Diving Company explained methods of recovering and raising sunken ships. Divers working under water in a glass tank in full view of the audience appeared to search for hidden treasure.
Edgar Cleary, a diver at the show made $4 ($121 in 2021) a day. This included cutting his air hose and fighting his way back to the surface. Cleary was said to be in the water close to 7 hours a day.
