The Bathysphere itself served as a model for later submersibles such as the DSV Alvin. As the Bathysphere descended, Barton succumbed to seasickness and vomited inside it. Thomas then goes to the Bathysphere and a very confusing scene occurs. Barton also hoped to film deep-sea creatures from inside the Bathysphere. A shark named Ice Teeth cuts the cable of the bathysphere and sinks it. In season 2, "Bathysphere" by Cat Power plays at the end of the first episode. The bathysphere is currently displayed at the New York Aquarium.
