[edit] Lodner Phillip's diving suit - construction

There is a book, I believe it is titled 'Great Lakes' first submarine: L.D. Phillips' "Fool Killer" ' that documents the creations of Lodner Phillips. I haven't read the book in some time, but I believe it sites a newspaper article from a Chicago paper that documents his use of the "Iron suit," which would suggest that the suit was actually built and used. I will try and verify this information and, if correct, cite it in the article. Nlalic 07:01, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Depth Correction

The United States Navy has made a big deal in the media regarding their August dive to 2000ft in one of OceanWork's HARDSUIT 2000s, claiming it to be the world record. My justification for removing it from Wikipedia is simple: Oceaneering, using their WASP suits, went to 2150ft in the Gulf of Mexico during a pipeline repair, photos of which can be found here: World's Deepest Pipeline Repair --UD75 18:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Background on JIM and WASP

There's an article from Underwater Magazine about Oceaneering's contribution to Atmospheric Diving, and the evolution of the WASP 1, 2 and 3 suits located here: http://www.underwater.com/archives/arch/025.07.shtml I'm putting it here rather in the article to avoid it looking like an advertising campaign, but it's still worth a read. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by UD75 (talk • contribs) 18:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC).
