Template:Short description Jim Bowden is an American technical diver, known as a cave diver and as a deep diver. In 1994 he set a world record, since broken, by diving to Script error: No such module "convert"..[1] He is one of only thirty-five people who have dived below a depth of Script error: No such module "convert". on self-contained breathing apparatus. He has also made six dives under Script error: No such module "convert"..Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

He was attempting a dual descent with Sheck Exley in the dive which resulted in Exley's death.[1] Bowden had aborted his dive and ascended prior to the events which led to Exley's demise.

Bowden's record-breaking dive served as the inspiration (with Bowden's permission) for the opening chapter of Tom Morrisey's 2002 novel, Yucatan Deep.[2]
