GirlDiver Cindy loads 190 lbs of gear and takes the giant stride into the deep with an authentic Mark 5 suit from the 1940's. Thanks to the Historical Diving Society and Smokey Point Diving for allowing XRay Magazine (www.xray-mag.com) this amazing opportunity.
I would love to do this, where did u dive, was it in Fl?

@cortocorto It was actually very comfortable and once you could master your buoyancy it became just an extension of who you were as a skilled underwater jack of all trades. The only drawback being in cold climates where bottom time was limited to how many times you had to pee. Though there were some who filled up their boots rather than come up for a pee break.

That looks extremely difficult to maneuver in..I can't even imagine what it must've been like to work underwater in equipment like that...
