Dräger drysuit and ozygen-rebreathers
The Navy Seal-teams is one of the users of the Dräger Oxygen-Rebreathers, this type works with a Lime-filled filter, which cleans the 'used' air from CO2, and then Oxygen is added from a bottle, before the diver use the air again. Because of this construction, Oxygen-Rebreathers are only safe to use on a depth up to 7 meters, on deeper water the oxygen becomes toxic.

Pictures of the 'good old' classic Viking Drysuits, the suits are all from before the watertight shoulder zipper was made the standard, the entry in the suit was therefor don through the neck seal, the neck seal was made so width and elastic that 2 person was able to width the seal so the diver could crawl into the suit. The suit was then made watertight with a neck ring and a latex hood, just like the latex hoods used on suits today. The black lines on the suits is reinforcement over the suit-joints. On the rightmost picture the diver use a AGA Divator Mk1 - full face mask.
