What Wikipedia says

Standard diving dress, also known as hard-hat or copper hat equipment, deep sea diving suit, or heavy gear, is a type of diving suit that was formerly used for all relatively deep underwater work that required more than breath-hold duration, which included marine salvage, civil engineering, pearl shell diving and other commercial diving work, and similar naval diving applications.
