Unlike atmospheric diving suits, ambient pressure diving suits provide no protection to the diver from barotrauma or decompression sickness. ...

From the eighteenth century on, an increasing number of inventions addressed two requirements of divers: on one hand, to descend to greater depths, leading to the development of a series of rigid diving suits, and, on the other hand, liberty of movement, which gave rise to a number of parallel inventions, leading up to the autonomous diving suit.  3, record 1, English, - diving%20suit

On distingue deux types de combinaison : La combinaison mouillée ou «wet suit» est faite d'un caoutchouc mousse poreux. Une petite quantité d'eau peut y pénétrer, mais comme le vêtement est en contact avec la peau, l'air emprisonné dans les pores du caoutchouc conserve la chaleur du corps. La combinaison sèche ou «dry suit» est faite de Nylon ou de caoutchouc mousse laminé, étanche à l'eau. La combinaison en Nylon est ample, donc plus confortable. Cependant, elle doit être bien ajustée au cou, aux poignets et aux pieds pour empêcher toute infiltration d'eau. La moindre fissure laisse passer toute l'eau qui veut bien y entrer et le vêtement perd ses propriétés isolantes.  6, record 1, French, - combinaison%20isothermique

Atmospheric diving suits ... They can be used for very deep dives, 600 metres / 2000 feet, for many hours without the normal hazards of depth, such as the decompression sickness or nitrogen narcosis. They look like suits of armour, with elaborate pressure joints to allow articulation while resisting the large difference between the inside and outside pressure. They are often constructed from aluminium, weigh around 250 kg / 500 pounds and have propellors allowing them to move in water. Often they are lowered from a support vessel, which supplies breathing gas, electric power and communications to the suit through an umbilical cable. The suit may incorporate a rebreather-type breathing system in the event of an emergency where the umbilical supply fails.  2, record 2, English, - atmospheric%20diving%20suit

An American from Chicago named Lodner D. Phillips designed the first completely enclosed atmospheric diving suit in 1856. His design consisted of a barrel-shaped upper torso with domed ends and was the first to incorporate ball and socket type joints in the articulated arms and legs. No record exists to indicate the Phillips suit was ever built, but many features of the design can be seen in similar more successful suits over a half century later.  3, record 2, English, - atmospheric%20diving%20suit

In 1882 the brothers Carmagalle took out a patent for an armour-plated diving suit. The most satisfactory modern version of this apparatus is the rigid jointed Neufeldt-Kuhnke type, which is lowered and raised by means of a cable and allows the diver to observe and make limited movements.  2, record 4, English, - armoured%20diving%20suit

Following Lethbridge and Rowe's exploits there was little to no mention of the armoured diving suit until 1838, an almost 80 year lull from Lethbridge's death in 1759. ... W.H. Taylor designed the first known armoured diving suit with articulating joints in 1838. The suit was to be surface-supplied and had accordion-like joints of spring steel, reinforced and water sealed with leather. From his drawing, it seems that either Taylor had no intentions of his suit being a true atmospheric diving suit, or else had no understanding of the depth-pressure relationship. The suit appeared to exhaust directly into the surrounding water from a short hose located at the divers waist. Therefore, the interior pressure would have had to be greater than the water pressure at depth. Also, the soft cloth joints of the suit would have most likely collapsed when exposed to any considerable pressure.  4, record 4, English, - armoured%20diving%20suit
