2 unusual facts about standard diving dress


Standard diving dress

Borelli designed a dress that consisted of a metal helmet, a pipe to "regenerate" air, a leather suit, and a means of controlling the diver's buoyancy.

"Big Daddies" from the video game BioShock wear Standard Diving Dress, with each variation wearing a different style of suit and helmet; "Bouncers" (close-combat with a mining drill) wear Carmagnolle helmets, while "Rosies" (long range with a rivet gun) wear a more traditional three-port helmet.
