RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] US Navy diver - 2000ft in Hardsuit 2000

Well now, it would seem that Vancouver is "ground zero" for manufacturing of all the neatest stuff!

That's HYCO, Nuytco, and this suit company

Nice article Paul, I see the dilemma, what record is this? I found this one regarding a 1956 flexible suit and hard hat.

A Navy diver submerged 2,000 feet, setting a

Manufacturer's info:

I can't find a real description of what record was set so I guess it's: "2000ft depth in an atmospheric suit."  ??
