diving-suit
Deep-sea garment
A diving-suit is a waterproof garment worn for underwater work or exploration, typically covering the entire body and connected to an air supply on the surface or from tanks.
Early diving-suits were heavy canvas or rubber affairs with metal helmets; modern versions range from wetsuits to pressurized suits for deep-sea operations.
The salvage crew lowered him in an old-fashioned diving-suit.
