diving suits

Deep sea attire

Diving suits are waterproof garments worn for underwater exploration, work, or sport.

The term covers everything from wetsuits that trap a thin layer of water against the skin for warmth, to drysuits that keep the body completely dry, to rigid atmospheric suits that maintain surface pressure at depth.

The salvage team wore heavy diving suits to work on the wreck.
