How did early diving suits work?
|
 | | An early diving suit |
The first diving suits date from the 1600s. An enlarged metal helmet covered the diver's body down to the hips, with holes for the arms. Air pumped through a hose into the 'suit' enabled the diver to breathe. The pressure of the air also kept the water out. A diver could only dive the length of the hose.
