Carmagnolle diving suit, designed by Alphonse and Theodore Carmagnolle in 1882. It is one of the earliest atmospheric diving suits, designed to withstand immense ocean pressure.
The suit weighs over 830 pounds and features 25 small glass viewports embedded in the helmet for visibility. It is notable for having 22 rolling convolute joints to allow for movement while remaining watertight.
The suit is currently displayed at the Musée National de la Marine in Paris 🇫🇷
