	Diving suit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A diving suit is a garment or device designed to protect a diver from the underwater environment.
		A modern diving drysuit has an air inflation valve, which lets the diver control the buoyancy of the suit by injecting gas from the diving regulator to avoid squeeze during descent.
		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.

	Suit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Suit (clothing), a combination of clothing, such as a jacket and matching trousers.
		Environmental suit, a piece of clothing used for a particular activity or in a particular environment, for example a space suit or diving suit.

	Standard diving dress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A standard diving dress consists of a metallic (copper, brass or bronze) diving helmet, an airline or hose from a surface supplied diving air pump, a canvas diving suit and boots.
		An important part of the equipment is the addition of lead weights, generally on the chest and boots, to counteract the buoyancy of the helmet and diving suit.
		The watershed development in hardhat diving was the "closed" dress, in 1837 by Augustus Siebe, where the helmet was sealed to the suit making the suit watertight, the helmet could not flood no matter how the diver moved, resulting in safer and more efficient underwater work.

	Wetsuits 101 - What Makes a Superior Diving Suit/Wet Suit?
		A proper fitting dive suit will help maintain regular body temperature by allowing a small amount of water between the surface of the divers skin and the inside of the suit which the body quickly warms the thin layer of water.
		If the suit doesn't fit properly there is a constant exchange of the cooler outside water with the warmed water inside the suit.
		This type of dive suit is to be avoided because the choice of stitching by the manufacturer is a dead giveaway that cheap materials were used to construct the suit.

	diving, deep-sea. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Modern helmet diving suits usually consist of a waterproof one-piece suit made of canvas and rubber that entirely covers the wearer except for the head and hands.
		His first suit was of the open type, consisting of a helmet attached to a jacket made of waterproof material.
		To correct this difficulty, Siebe later developed the closed type of diving suit that, with improvements, is still in general use.

	The Tritonia diving suit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Tritonia diving suit, which kept working divers dry and at atmospheric pressure, even at great depth, suffered the fate of many useful inventions when Joseph Peress demonstrated it in 1930: it was not appreciated.
		The suit was dusted off and dived for the first time by 80-year-old Peress in the factory test tank.
		The suit was completed in 1971 and sea trials took place in 1972 on the Royal Navy salvage vessel HMS Reclaim to a depth of 152m.

	Scuba Diving - MarineBio.org
		In 16th century England and France, full diving suits made of leather were used to depths of 60 ft. Air was pumped down from the surface with the aid of manual pumps.
		William Beebe, a diving pioneer and "oceanographic naturalist" descends 1426 ft in a round, 4 ft 9 inch bathysphere; it is attached to a barge by a 7/8 inch non-twisting steel cable to the mother ship.
		She became a national celebrity when she broke the deep dive record of 209 ft and went on to star in a TV series called "Kingdom of the Sea" and was also featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1955.

	Greek sponge diving
		Although sponge diving was a source of income for several Greek islands during the last centuries, Kalymnos is known to be the center of the Greek sponge diving industry.
		The reason for this was the introduction of the standard diving suit or Skafandro as the Greeks call it.
		A combination of several dives a day to depths up to 70 meters and then coming up without decompression stops did not miss its devastating effect: in the first years the standard suit was used, about half of the divers got paralised or died of decompression sickness.

	Scuba Diving Apparel - What to Wear When Underwater

	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).

		Italian suit makers have always given a lot of attention to semi-dry suit design, and two have recently come up with a revolutionary advance using more effective yet easier to don latex seals and even drysuit-style zips to minimise the amount of water that can enter.
		Suits like this are excellent for keeping a diver warm when he is actually in the water.
		The suit is put (without hard parts such as valves) into a pressure chamber and the material is crushed, tightening up the bonding and stitching as well during the process.

	Halfbakery: Manta Ray Diving Suit
		The mantaray suit could be made of closed-cell, crosslinked foam and coated with teflon or shark skin material.
		The overall shape of a suit could be personalized to a diver by taking a 3D scan of the diver and smoothing out the edges evenly all the way around the body to a knife-like edge in the shape of a ray.
		Diver could control the edge of the suit with artificial tendons which could be made by 3D printing the suit and including higher density sections in the shape of cords into the foam.

	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.
		A general rule of thumb for saturation diving is a day of decompression for every 100 feet (or 30.5 meters) plus one day, i.e.

	Siebe-Gorman copper diving suit Otago Museum Dunedin New Zealand
		The first diving helmet was invented by Charles Deane, but the design was not originally intended for walking around on the bottom of the sea, but rather, to fight fires.
		This idea was developed further to incorporate a suit and in 1839, when Augustus Siebe successfully tested the first surface-supplied air helmeted diving suit.
		The suit has a large detachable helmet and breastplate made of copper and the whole thing fitted together to form an air-filled, water tight environment for the person inside.

	InfoHub Forums - Scuba Diving Dry Suit vs Wet Suit
		I heard there are two types of suits that keep your body warm when diving in the cold water.
		Another very important difference: diving dry suits is technically different from diving wet suits, as you need to be able to control the air flow into your drysuit upon descent and out again upon ascent in order to avoid squeezes and stay neutrally buoyant.
		I believe that a properly sized dry suit and reasonable buoyancy control is easier to dive in than a wet suit.
