  2. Diving weighting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_weighting_system

    The practical procedure is known as a buoyancy check, and is done by wearing all the equipment, with the tank(s) nearly empty, and the buoyancy compensator empty, in shallow water, and adding or removing weight until the diver is neutrally buoyant. The weight should then be distributed on the diver to provide correct trim, and a sufficient part ...

  3. Standard diving dress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_diving_dress

    Standard diving dress, also known as hard-hat or copper hat equipment, deep sea diving suit or heavy gear, is a type of diving suit that was formerly used for all relatively deep underwater work that required more than breath-hold duration, which included marine salvage, civil engineering, pearl shell diving and other commercial diving work, and similar naval diving applications.

  4. Buoyancy compensator (diving) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy_compensator_(diving)

    The buoyancy compensator is used by ambient pressure divers using underwater breathing apparatus to adjust buoyancy underwater or at the surface within the range of slightly negative to slightly positive, to allow neutral buoyancy to be maintained throughout the depth range of the planned dive, and to compensate for changes in weight due to breathing gas consumption during the dive.

  5. Diving suit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_suit

    Hot water suits are loose fitting neoprene wetsuits used in cold water commercial surface-supplied diving. [17] A hose in the diver's umbilical line, which links the diver to the surface support, carries the hot water from a heater at the surface down to the suit. The diver controls the flow rate of the water from a valve near his waist ...

  6. Atmospheric diving suit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_diving_suit

    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 ...

  8. Neutral buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_buoyancy

    Neutral buoyancy occurs when an object's average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed, resulting in the buoyant force balancing the force of gravity that would otherwise cause the object to sink (if the body's density is greater than the density of the fluid in which it is immersed) or rise (if it is less).
