Diving Dress Invented by Swiss Native for Underwater Breathing

A verbose recount of the diving dress invented in Switzerland describes two-layer rubber outfits, a front breastplate with glass visors, and weighted helmet gear. It notes air supplied by hoses controlled by two divers, signaling equipment, and the safety ladder for ascent. The piece cites Anthony Williams, a famed English diver, recounting tests and the dress’s heavy, buoyant design.
