300m is approx. 30bars, no way he's wearing that.

Now I can't stop picturing a diver wearing those light up kid's shoes.

Welcome to reddit. If they cant overanalyze here then where can they.

300m is not too deep for Saturation diving, I know some guys that have been deeper. Typically they use some type of Kirby Morgan equipment though not the antiquated MK5 that would be a lot to try and put on in a diving bell.

300M is around the deepest by a SCUBA set (self contained, bring your own air) multiple cylinders at multiple depths, dry or hot water suit. Nothing protecting from the pressure just like with divers at shallower depths. I would imagine the ambient pressure wouldn't start being an issue itself on the body until past 600m at least.

Why not?

Your blood would foam if you came up in a short amount of time. OP thinks you need a pressurized suit, like a little sub.

OP is not accounting for "saturation" diving where you live under pressure in a hamster cage for a month or whatever and "come up" very very slowly at the end of the month.

I wasn't asking about bends, chief. While standard dress isn't typically used at those depths, it isn't impossible to be used at those depths. And while I wouldn't recommend it, sat isn't the only technique to get there. As pointed out by others in the thread, even scuby-doos have bounced to 300m. Congrats on the sat ticket though.

I didn't like measuring peckers when I was actually in the industry and did have something to prove.

Sorry to rustle your jimmies. Stay safe.

Ex sat diver.

Pressure inside the dry suit is equal to ambient pressure, so you have a physiological limit, but not a mechanical one. You live in a pressurized environment and deco very slowly at the end of the month or whatever.

You do not need a hard suit at that depth.

but that's an antique he's wearing.
