It has a forward pilot's compartment and a separately pressured divers' compartment that enables it to discharge and pick up divers far below the water's surface. When pressure in the divers' compartment has been built up to equal the water pressure outside, a hatch drops open, enabling the divers to depart. When they come back, they can eat and rest...
