New Navy Dive Suit a ‘Game Changer’

The US Navy has completed tank tests of its new deep-diving suit called the Deep Sea Expeditionary with No Decompression (DSEND) system. The service says the suit is light, flexible, and maintains sea-level internal pressure around the wearer even when hundreds of feet underwater. The DSEND demos took place at NSWC Carderock Division in Maryland and at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit in Florida.
