The two-meter-tall, 240-kilogram, aptly-named Exosuit has been specially designed to protect the diver from the heavy pressure in deep ocean and even work at 305 meters deep underwater for hours. It also features 1.6-horsepower foot-controlled thrusters and 18 rotary joints to let the diver swim around without any effort.
