Helmet and standard dress
The research card mentions historic helmet-diving equipment and Siebe Gorman standard diving dress. See how helmet, suit and air supply fit together: each part had to allow protection, breathing and freedom of movement at the same time.
Early diving equipment
Diving bells and other early equipment form a second strand. Compare a closed bell with a portable apparatus; the difference shows how designers tried to increase range, time under water and independence.
Breathing without a surface supply line
Ask the museum for the current information about this part of your visit.
