Turku YMCA Scuba diving section paid our museum a visit. After a refreshing cup of coffee we had the priviledge to get to know a commercial diving company and see the machinery they have designed and built. After a very interesting round trip we moved along to the museum. The twelve visitors were very interested in historical diving gear and methods and a lengthy discussion about diving bells took place. We actually coined an idea. We should manufacture an air tun for the bell and also locate a blacksmith interested in historical tools and then we could take our bell to the sea and test old working methods. Such a trip could even draw the attention of professionals in the museum sector.
