Chester E. Macduffee (sometimes spelled McDuffee) is credited with inventing an early version of a self-contained diving suit known as the Macduffee suit. The suit, patented in 1911, was designed to allow divers to work underwater for extended periods without the need for surface air supply. Here are some details about the Macduffee diving suit. Macduffee's suit reached 65 meters, or 213 feet, of waterdepth in 1915! Pretty amazing distance for that era. The current diving suits reach distances of about 2,000 feet, making the Macduffee suit a shallow water suit, in reality. The diver got in the suit, and then the suit was lowered down by way of a cable.
