The diving suits known as standard diving dress had a metallic helmet, made of brass, bronze or copper, an airline or hose supplying air from the surface, a canvas diving suit, weighted boots and were equipped with a knife, just in case. The suits had other lead weights too, usually fitted on the chest or back, to help the diver descend to the required depth.
These types of diving suits aren't used that often these days, but although they are the diving suits that most people are familiar with, they weren't the first ones to be developed.
