Discover the specialised equipment used by deep-sea biologists to dive in extremely cold waters, including the differences between wetsuits and dry suits, and how they keep divers warm and protected. The video also highlights the importance of buoyancy control and the use of weights to achieve neutral buoyancy for effective underwater study. This insight into cold-water diving gear enhances understanding of marine exploration and the challenges faced by researchers in deep-sea environments.
