The wreck is too deep to dive safely using regular scuba equipment, so the divers had to use rebreather technology, in which carbon dioxide is scrubbed from the exhaled air while oxygen is introduced and recirculated.

Yet it was discovered by sponge divers in 1900.

What kind of SCUBA gear do you suppose they had?
