Extracted from the Wikipedia article Atmospheric diving suit.
Atmospheric diving suits in current use include the Newtsuit, Exosuit, Hardsuit and WASP, all of which are self-contained hard suits that incorporate propulsion units. The Hardsuit is constructed from cast aluminum (forged aluminum in a version constructed for the US Navy for submarine rescue); the upper torso hull is made from cast aluminum, while the bottom dome is machined aluminum. The WASP is of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) body tube construction.
