As anyone who’s ever been a recreational scuba diver knows, diving beyond a depth of 100 feet requires special training. So imagine being able to go down to 1,000 feet and stay there for hours.

That’s the goal of the deep-diving “exosuit,” a “next-generation atmospheric diving system” that will be on display at the American Museum of Natural History through March 5.
