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 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.

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

A rigid diving suit provides more protection against the extreme pressure of the deep sea. A flexible suit could compress under the pressure, causing harm to the diver. The rigid suit helps maintain a stable environment for the diver at such depths.
