HISTORICAL DIVING

In the days of old, when men were bold and scuba wasn’t invented.
As featured in DIVE June 2002

HISTORY
Standard Dress Diving was the main form of diving equipment used from 1823 until the later part of the last century, finally being replaced in the Royal Navy Dockyards in 1990 by modern commercial diving equipment. It consisted of the brass helmet and lead boots which epitomised diving the world over.
