The Development of an Improved Suit System for Cold Water Diving.

Abstract

The requirements for improved thermal protection garments for divers and a design philosophy for their development is discussed. An improved passive thermal protection garment for Navy divers has been shown to be thermally adequate in 4.4 degrees C (40 degrees F) water. Design investigations and thermal evaluations leading up to the final suit configuration are summarized. (Author)
