	Atmospheric diving suit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atmospheric Diving Suits in current use include the Newtsuit/Hardsuit, and the WASP, both of which are self-contained and incorporate propulsion units.
		The suit achieved fame during the salvage of gold and silver bullion from the wreck of the S.S. Egypt, an 8,000 ton Peninsular and Oriental liner that sank in May of 1922.
		The suit was reportedly capable of diving to depths of 1,000 feet (300m) and was used successfully to dive on the sunken vessel City of Rio de Janeiro in 328 feet (99m) of water near Fort Point, San Francisco.

	Wet Suit - Background, History, Raw Materials, The Manufacturing, Quality Control
		In 1665, a diving bell was engaged on a gun salvaging mission to a shipwrecked Armada vessel.
		The dry suit traps air, however, and that air is compressed as the diver swims deeper and the volume of air decreases.
		The suits are sent to the final sewing area, where nylon thread is used to stitch the seams of the suit.

	Diving, scuba diving & snorkeling articles: Scuba diving suits
		The scuba diving suit is an essential piece of equipment when diving, it aids in keeping the diver warm and helps to prevent hyperthermia and is also used to help protect against elements under water such as stings from sea urchins and avoiding cuts and grazes.
		There are many different type of suit and modern diving suits are generally divided into two kinds, the soft or ambient pressure diving suit which is the more popular and used on normal dives and the hard or atmospheric pressure diving suit.
		Suits of this type are normally made from a material known as neoprene which is a heavy-duty fabric coated with rubber or PVC.

		A diving suit is a garment or device designed to protect a diver from the underwater environment.
		"hard" or atmospheric pressure diving suits - an armored suit that permits a diver to remain at atmospheric pressure whilst operating at depth where the water pressure is high.
		Apart from hot water suits, these types of suit are not exclusively used by divers but are often used for thermal protection by people engaged in other water sports activities such as surfing, sailing, powerboating, windsurfing, kite surfing, waterskiing, caving and swimming.

		Some drysuits have controls allowing the suit to be inflated to reduce "squeeze" caused by increasing pressure; they also have vents allowing the excess air to be removed from the suit on ascent.
		Membrane dry suits are made from thin materials, with a consequent poor thermal insulation, such as vulcanised rubber or from laminated layers of nylon, butyl rubber and nylon.
		A modern diving drysuit has a gas inflation valve, which lets the diver control the buoyancy of the suit by injecting gas from a diving cylinder to avoid "squeeze" during descent.

	Diving Suit Explained - TextileGlossary.com
		Ambient pressure diving suits are a form of exposure protection used in scuba diving or free diving.
		Unlike atmospheric diving suits, ambient pressure diving suits provide no protection to the diver from barotrauma or decompression sickness.The suits are often made from neoprene, heavy-duty fabric coated with rubber, or PVC.
		The suit has an air inflation valve, which allows the diver to control the buoyancy of the suit by injecting gas from the diving regulator to avoid squeeze during descent.

		The BCD is used to compensate for the compression of a wet suit, and to compensate for the decrease of the diver's mass as the air from the cylinder is breathed away.
		Diving weighting systems, ranging from 2 to 15 kilograms, increase density of the scuba diver to compensate for the buoyancy of diving equipment, allowing the diver to fully submerge underwater with ease by obtaining neutral or slightly negative buoyancy.
		In technical diving, the diver may carry different equipment for different phases of the dive; some breathing gas mixes may only be used at depth, such as trimix and others, such as pure oxygen, which only may be used during decompression stopsbackplate while others are side slung from strong points on the backplate.

	SUT - Oceans of Opportunity For school leavers and beyond Diving and Undersea Vehicles
		Diving skills are also needed in several other careers: the armed services, the police, science (particularly marine biology and archaeology), the media, and in the training of recreational divers.
		Leisure diving experience is useful as it means that you know whether or not you like being underwater but it is not mandatory, as the requirement of a career diver is that he should be capable of working underwater.
		Diving can provide an interesting and worthwhile career in itself, but if you hold a trade or skill it is always possible to revert to this later in your working life.

	UKDivers.net - Diving History
		The success of Augustus Siebe (1788-1872) in developing early diving apparatus was a result, of his ability to construct diving helmets, and his established expertise in the manufacture of pumps; the production of the first practical diving apparatus, in the 1820s, was a result of improvements in air pumping and helmet technology.
		Diving, at least in the early days, was regarded as a solitary task, and if divers had to work in pairs it was generally without the need for verbal communication.
		It was soon recognised that the answer to very deep diving was to enclose the diver in a chamber strong enough to resist the immense pressure of the sea, allowing the occupant to breath under ordinary atmospheric conditions.

	History
		The first real step toward the development of a surface-supported diving technique occurred when the French scientist Freminet devised a system in which air was pumped from the surface with a bellows, allowing a constant flow of air to pass through a hose to the diver in the water.
		Siebe's diving suit was tested and found to be successful in 1839 when the British started the salvage of the ship Royal George, which had sunk in 1782 to a depth of 65 feet (19.8 meters) (Larson 1959).
		An Atmospheric Diving Suit is an anthropomorphic, single-person articulated submersible that allows the operator, or "pilot", to remain at one atmosphere of pressure regardless of depth.

	People Under the Sea: Submersibles - Hardsuit 2000
		Consequently, unlike the typical surface supplied diver, as was used in the rescue of the Squalus, the HARDSUIT 2000 can dive as deep as 2000 feet (or 609.6 meters) for many hours without any of the physiological hazards of depth, such as the "bends" or nitrogen narcosis.
		The primary advantage of the HARDSUIT 2000, as with all Atmospheric Diving Suits, is the elimination of the compression and decompression hazards associated with the typical ambient pressure diver.
		Additionally, since the diver is at atmospheric pressure, upon exiting the water, the pilot does not have to spend days decompressing, as would the typical saturation diver.

	The Joseph Peress Diving Suit
		Various atmospheric suits had been developed during the Victorian era, but nobody had managed to overcome a basic design problem - the construction of a joint that would remain flexible and watertight at depth.
		By 1930 Peress had completed the trials and the "Tritonia diving suit" was demonstrated publicly in a small tank at Byfleet in May. In September it was taken to Loch Ness on board the Recovery where Peress's assistant, Jim Jarret, dived in the suit to 135m.
		The suit was dusted off and dived for the first time by 80-year-old Peress in the factory test tank.

		A bounce dive is a dive of relatively short duration and generally less than 10 minutes.
		Sometimes a bounce dive is characterized as a relatively deep dive with a short bottom time (with a long surface interval to eliminate gas bubble formation in blood and tissues).
		In atmospheric diving, a bulky, high-pressure resistant diving suit is used by the diver, who breathes air at normal pressure.

		Three factors which have influenced the progress of the atmospheric diving suit are the limitations of engineering technology, the rapid advances in hyperbaric physiology and the requirement for deep diving.
		The suit was used in several salvage operations, by far the most famous being the recovery of bullion from the wreck of the ‘Egypt’.
		Virtually all diving operations were well within the scope of the standard diver who could operate with much greater efficiency than the atmospheric diving suit.

		Abstract: The objective of this report is to describe the results of a worldwide industry survey of the atmospheric diving suit (ADS).
		A glimpse into the past of significant ADSs from Lethbridge's 1715 "diving engine" to the well- recognized JIM suit is discussed.
		The results of this survey indicate that atmospheric diving suits are a healthy and thriving community among the oil and gas industry, yet comfortable in their niche between the ambient divers and remotely operated vehicles.
