In the days of old, when men were bold and scuba wasn’t invented.

HISTORY
Standard Dress Diving was the main form of diving
equipment used from 1823 until the later part of the last century, finally
being replaced
in the Royal Navy Dockyards in 1990 by modern commercial diving equipment.
It consisted of the brass helmet and lead boots which epitomised diving
the world over.
