The Newtsuit has fully articulated, rotary joints in the arms and legs. These provide high mobility, while remaining largely unaffected by high pressures. An atmospheric diving suit (ADS), or single atmosphere diving suit is a small one-person articulated submersible which resembles a suit of armour, with elaborate pressure joints to allow articulation while maintaining an internal pressure of ...
A JIM suit used by NOAA is recovered from the water. The JIM suit is an atmospheric diving suit (ADS), which is designed to maintain an interior pressure of one atmosphere despite exterior pressures, eliminating the majority of physiological dangers associated with deep diving.
The Newtsuit is an atmospheric diving suit designed and originally built by Phil Nuytten. [1] The suit is used for work on ocean drilling rigs, pipelines, salvage jobs, and photographic surveys, and is standard equipment in many of the world's navies. [2] [clarification needed]

A diving suit is a garment or device designed to protect a diver from the underwater environment.A diving suit may also incorporate a breathing gas supply (such as for a standard diving dress or atmospheric diving suit), [1] but in most cases the term applies only to the environmental protective covering worn by the diver.
Atmospheric diving suit – Articulated pressure resistant anthropomorphic housing for an underwater diver; Atmospheric diving system – Diving equiment that isolates the diver from ambient pressure; Atmospheric pressure diving, also known as atmospheric suit diving – Diving in an articulated pressure resistant anthropomorphic housing
hot water suit. See: Diving suit#Hot water suits. A loose fitting wetsuit supplied with heated water through a hose in the diver's umbilical, which links the diver to the surface support. The diver controls the flow rate of the water, allowing them to vary the warmth of the suit. [16] [17] HP High pressure, generally gas pressures in excess of ...
An environment suit is typically a one-piece garment, and many types also feature a helmet or other covering for the head. Where the surrounding environment is especially dangerous the suit is completely sealed. The first environmental suits were diving suits designed to protect a diver from the surrounding water (see timeline of underwater ...
