TheSladen Suit was a heavy type of British divers'drysuit made bySiebe Gorman.[1] It is entered by a wide rubber tube at the waist: this tube is folded and tied off before the diver dives. It was used by Britishmanned torpedo riders and for general underwater work.[citation needed]
It was sometimes nicknamed "Clammy Death".[2]
The first model had two small glazed viewports. It was redesigned with the single oval flip-up viewport so the wearer could getbinoculars to his eyes.[citation needed]
There was anoxygen rebreather called the "Universal" that was designed to be used with it. The Universal was a long-dive derivative of theDavis Submerged Escape Apparatus.[citation needed]
