Etymology

The term 'aquanaut' was coined in the late 20th century, combining the prefix 'aqua-', meaning water, with '-naut', derived from the Greek 'nautฤ“s', meaning sailor or traveler. The concept of the aquanaut emerged from advancements in underwater living technologies and the growing interest in marine research. Early aquanauts were part of experimental missions like the Sealab program, where they inhabited underwater habitats to study physiology and gather ecological data. As underwater exploration expanded, the role of aquanauts became essential in various marine studies, environmental conservation, and understanding oceanographic phenomena.
