Chinese scientists developed a flexible exoskeleton diving suit that significantly boosts underwater agility. Testing demonstrated that the suit can reduce oxygen consumption by almost 40%, aiding various professional tasks like seabed surveys and salvage operations.

Chinese scientists have created a diving suit that could help users glide through the sea with ease. In tests, the exoskeleton reduced the diver’s oxygen consumption by nearly 40 per cent. The flexible suit not only provides physical assistance but also syncs precisely with the swimmer’s own rhythm, dramatically boosting underwater agility. In tasks ranging from seabed surveys and pipeline inspections to salvage operations and even covert military missions, divers must constantly change the rate...
