Monday February 6th 2012 was our Neutral Buoyancy meeting. Our topic was historical diving equipment. Bob Rusnak and Jerry Takasc were kind enough to speak to Neutral Buoyancy about the Mark V U.S. Navy Gear. This gear shown in the pictures below dates back nearly 70 years. The helmet was made in Brooklyn in 1943 and weighs about 65lbs by itself. The total suit that I am dressed in weighs about 200lbs. Each shoe is 15lbs a piece. Its always amazing to take part in historical diving. I was thrilled to be able to test out the suit and impressed with myself for being able to walk in it. lol Thank you Bob and Jerry for giving us a look into history.
 This Mark V was built in 1943 in Brooklyn. It weighs about 65lbs.     Jerry Takasc asking "RED DIVER are you ready?"  I may be walking around in a 200lbs dive suit but nothing says that this DiveMaster doesn't accessorize well with her Coach bag! lol |  Each shoe weighs 15lbs.
