Divers simply attach hoses from surface ips to the sunken vessel and the rface ships pump alr into it.

Wherever they move they not only drag along that length of air hose that pumps life to them from the surface, but they also must drag the life line, the length of rope on which they are lowered and raised and over which ! they tug signals to the crew above in case their telephone goes out of commission.
