The Newtsuit is an atmospheric diving suit designed and originally built by Phil Nuytten.
[1] The suit is used for work on ocean drilling rigs, pipelines, salvage jobs, and photographic surveys, and is standard equipment in many of the world's navies.
[2][clarification needed] This aluminum hard suit has fully articulated,[3] rotary joints in the arms and legs that give the pilot a great range of mobility.
The pilot can control objects and handle tools with manipulator jaws at the ends of the arms.
[3] Other equipment that can be attached includes twin video cameras, colour imaging sonar, and an AMS[clarification needed] suit monitor system that transmits information to the surface, such as CO2, HPO (high pressure oxygen), O2%, depth, temperature, and cabin pressure.
