What is a scuba diving costume called?
A scuba diving costume is commonly referred to as a wetsuit or a drysuit, depending on the conditions and level of thermal protection required. Wetsuits are made from neoprene and are designed to keep divers warm in cooler waters by trapping a thin layer of water between the suit and the skin. Drysuits, on the other hand, provide insulation by keeping water out entirely, making them suitable for colder environments. Both types of suits are essential for safe and comfortable scuba diving experiences.
How heavy were the diving suits in 1930?
In the 1930s, diving suits, particularly those made of metal or heavy rubber, typically weighed between 150 to 250 pounds (68 to 113 kg) when fully equipped. The weight was necessary to counteract buoyancy underwater and ensure the diver remained grounded during their descent. These suits often included a helmet, lead weights, and other accessories, contributing to their significant overall weight. Advances in materials and design have since reduced the weight of modern diving gear considerably.

It helps maintain body temperature by providing insulation, which is crucial for preventing hypothermia during prolonged dives in colder waters. Additionally, exposure suits offer a degree of protection against cuts, scrapes, and stings from marine life and underwater objects.
What do humans breathe in a diving suit?
Humans breathe pure oxygen in diving suits because that is the gas humans and animals are required to have to stay alive and not suffocate.
