Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Tuesday, 26 November 2024 is Sladen Suit.
The Sladen Suit was a heavy type of British divers' drysuit made by Siebe Gorman. It is entered by a wide rubber tube at the waist: this tube is folded and tied off before the diver dives. It was used by British manned torpedo riders and for general underwater work.
It was sometimes nicknamed "Clammy Death".
The first model had two small glazed viewports. It was redesigned with the single oval flip-up viewport so the wearer could get binoculars to his eyes.
