A newt suit can go 48 hours at depth 300M and deeper if you got the balls. They are constructed of reinforced aluminum, titanium and ceramic, not glass....there are about 6 counter rotating ring joins on the appendages for agility in the arms etc... really kool..
@NuKeteknolagyZ Im not an expert or anything,but I think its because of the pressures experienced the depth that the newt was built for,it has to be able to have its own air supply as well. very cool!
As it is an atmospheric suit, you don't need decompression since the inside of that suit is at the same atmospheric pressure as above water i.e. on ground.
I just thought maybe they raise the inner atmospheric pressure to something like 3-4 bars to allow for deeper dives. In which case you'd have to do a little deco.
Probably, the NEWT suits have glass-reinforced plastic shells which are good for submersible craft and anthropomorphic suits. I suggest you read Sylvia Earle's book 'Exploring The Deep Frontier.' She currently holds the record for the deepest dive whilst in a JIM suit, which is closely related to the NEWT suit.

this is SO cool.. wow
what is the suits maximum operational depth? and do you need any decompression if it has a steady atmospheric pressure?

300m (1000ft)
Dunno about the decompression
