Scuba Wet Suits

            Scuba wet suits were not taken seriously until World War II and the advent of Navy Frogmen (SEALs), which was one of the most effective weapons of war America. On any measurable basis, costs for operations against the cost effectiveness, man to man, or kill a total of reports has exceeded expectations at all levels of the seals. Once identified, the military put a lot of time and money in improving the effectiveness of its frogmen. This meant improving the design, efficiency and durability of wet suits.

            There is a controversy that, over time, whether wet suits, had developed to keep dry. Sounds like an implementation of a joke, but it is not. Are all U-boats, protective clothing, rubber called combinations. The controversy was whether the loss of heat could be controlled better on the diver's body when the skin is dry or combination did not. It was Hugh Bradner who is credited with the first wetsuit in 1952. Mr. Bradner was actually working as a physicist at UC Berkeley Radiation Laboratory, where he was testing the reflexes of shock waves on unicellular material and was invited to attend a conference of the float. His concept was that the skin of the diver does not stay dry to prevent heat loss when the insulation used in the wet suit on the air in the material of the suit was get trapped.
             With the French invention of the Aqua-Lung, was an underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) used in the war and eventually led to investigation teams to many mysteries of the ocean to explore. Once it began, was the urgent need for the combination of painfully obvious by the divers suffering from hypothermia after a few dives. The divers tried everything from greased long johns remains Costumes Air Force survival, and the Bradner wet suit. Bradner was the first to use a material similar to the single-cell type, he worked at the Radiation Laboratory in his suit. The material comes from a company called Rubatex and called Neoprene and the original model of the high tech of today, was born at three levels suit.
