DIVERS' BODY HEAT LOSS: DESCRIBES A STUDY OF THE ENDURANCE OF UNDERWATER SWIMMERS WEARING A VARIETY OF FOAM NEOPRENE WET SUITS AND IMMERSED AT 30-32F IN THE NEL ARCTIC POOL.
A study was made primarily to obtain data applicable to the design of an optimum protective suit for divers in arctic environments. The experimental method employed swimmers who performed shallow dives in the NEL Arctic Pool at 30-32F. Skin temperature was recorded by the use of suitably located the...
