for protection, as astronauts need to wear space suits to do space walks. Humans are fragile beings. Our skeletons and bone structure can only work in a narrow range of pressure around the atmospheric pressure [~1x105 Pa at sea level] -- we have adapted to earth's atmosphere. In deep seas, the human body will encounter a pressure [Pa], in addition to atmospheric pressure, equals to rho*g*h, where rho = water density [~ 1000 kg/m3]; g = 9.8 [m/s2]; and h is the water depth [m].

Why do you think a person going to the depths of the sea requires a rigid diving suit instead of a flexible one?

A person going to the depths of the sea requires a rigid diving suit instead of a flexible one because of the extense pressure of the fluid. As we know that pressure at a point in a fluid is directly proportional to the depth of that point, thus, a deep sea diver needs a rigid suit.

How do firefighters and scuba divers protect themselves from extreme temperatures?

The primary purpose of a "diving suit" is thermal protection. According to a study done by the University of Michigan, the average temperature of water near the ocean surface is about 17°C (62.6°F). This, coupled with the fact that water is a very good thermal conductor (it conducts heat away from your body about 22 times more efficiently than air) makes hypothermia one of the most significant risks to a scuba diver. The primary purpose of a diving suit is to prevent this. There are two general categories of diving suit in common use: the wet suit and the dry suit. The goal of both is the same. They're designed to keep you warm. A wet suit, usually made of neoprene, sometimes sandwiched between two layers of fabric, is open to the surrounding water. It operates by trapping a very thin layer of water between the diver's body and the thermally insulating neoprene. The diver's body quickly heats this thin layer of water, which then serves as a further thermal insulator. Dry suits are exactly that: dry. Made of a variety of waterproof materials including crushed neoprene and rubber treated fabric, dry suits are fitted with water-tight cuffs and neck seals. Divers typically wear insulating underwear under dry suits. The underwear and the air trapped in the suit insulate the diver from the cold water. In both cases, diving suits increase a diver's buoyancy by displacing water with either the neoprene suit itself or by the air trapped inside the suit. This is problematic in that it requires supplementary weight to compensate for the buoyancy to make the diver neutrally buoyant. Without supplementary weight, a diving suit wearing diver would not be able to descend in water. A secondary benefit of both wet and dry diving suits is physical protection of the diver's skin against abrasion and attack by sea life such as jellyfish and coral. Divers diving in warm water often use thin lycra or spandex suits called dive skins. Dive skins provide minimal thermal protection but do provide a measure of physical protection.

How can you pee while scuba diving?

Believe it or not, there are several alternatives. In a wet suit ... just do it. If you are in a dry suit, then you can wear adult diapers ... or if you are a male, you can add a "p-valve" which utilizes an external catheter (i.e. condom type) that attaches to a tube that is attached to the drysuit so a male diver can relieve himself outside the drysuit now.

What does a sea deep diver wear?

well it isn't such a hat, a diving hat that allows him to breathe steadily underwater.It is called An atmospheric diving suit or ADSwhich is is a small one man articulated submersible of anthropomorphic which looks like a suit of armour, with pressure joints to allow movement while keeping an internal pressure of one atmosphere or so. The ADS can be used for very deep dives of up to 2300 feet which is 700m.
