| Description | Can-Dive Services Ltd.'s Newtsuit offers several features that the Canadian company feels will attract divers and their employers. Although it is a hard shell armored suit, it is a relatively light 400 pounds made of aluminum. Future Newtsuits may be made of carbon fiber composite material that is lighter, yet stronger than steel. It has a constant pressure of one atmosphere meaning the pressure all the way down to the suits 1,000 feet limit will be the same as on the surface. Newtsuit, like a spacesuit, has a self contained backpack breathing system with a duration of 48 hours. It employs a series of patented low friction fluidic joints designed to make underwater motion easier and permit 75 percent; normal human mobility. |
