for protection, as astronauts need to wear space suits to do space walks. Humans are fragile beings. Our skeletons and bone structure can only work in a narrow range of pressure around the atmospheric pressure [~1x105 Pa at sea level] -- we have adapted to earth's atmosphere. In deep seas, the human body will encounter a pressure [Pa], in addition to atmospheric pressure, equals to rho*g*h, where rho = water density [~ 1000 kg/m3]; g = 9.8 [m/s2]; and h is the water depth [m].

At h = 1 [km], P = 1000 * 9.8 * 1000 ~ 1x107 [Pa], which is 100 times the atmospheric pressure! The diver will experience a crushing force, implode, and die without protection (see the special effects of the movie "the abyss."). As opposed to the outer space, the astronaut will explode and die without protection (see the special effects near the end of the movie "total recall.")

What is the name of the suit that divers use to survive high pressure?

How the old diving suit or standard diving dress were made and what material were materials used?

The old diving suit, or standard diving dress, was typically made from heavy canvas or rubberized fabric to provide durability and waterproofing. The suit featured a helmet made of brass, which was bolted onto the suit and equipped with a glass faceplate for visibility. Inside, it had a weighted belt for stability underwater, while a supply of air was provided through a hose connected to the surface. The materials were chosen for their ability to withstand the pressures of deep water and to protect divers from the harsh underwater environment.


Why do deep sea divers wear special suit?

What did the JIM suit help discover?

The JIM suit, a deep-sea diving suit designed for underwater exploration and salvage operations, helped discover and recover various artifacts and shipwrecks, especially in challenging underwater environments. It allowed divers to work at extreme depths for longer durations, making it instrumental in a number of underwater archaeological discoveries.


Could you survive on the surface of Venus in a deep-sea diving suit?

No. While the suit might protect you from the pressure,it could not protect you from the extremely high temperatures.


A man is found dead with a hole in his suit how did he die?

the suit is an astronaut's suit. problem solved.Not likely. A better answer is that he was in a deep-sea diving suit and, while under water, snagged it on an obstacle. Water filled the suit and ultimately his helmet. He drowned. There is no such thing as an astronaut's suit. It is by definition a spacesuit(one word). Thus, for the first answer to be correct the problem would have to be worded as "A man is found dead with a hole in his spacesuit. How did he die?" A deep-sea diving suit, on the other hand, can be referred to as a suit.


Why was the scuba diving suit invented?

Why do you think a person going to the depths of the sea requires a rigid diving suit instead of a flexible one?

A person going to the depths of the sea requires a rigid diving suit instead of a flexible one because of the extense pressure of the fluid. As we know that pressure at a point in a fluid is directly proportional to the depth of that point, thus, a deep sea diver needs a rigid suit.
