The future of ocean exploration

Developed and built in North Vancouver by Nuytco Research Ltd, this hard metal dive suit allows divers to operate safely down to a depth of 1000 feet (305m) and yet still have exceptional dexterity and flexibility to perform delicate work. The amazing technology of the EXOSUIT ADS™ (atmospheric diving system) maintains a cabin pressure of the surface and still allows the suit to bend due to a unique rotary joint invented by Nuytco founder Phil Nuytten.
Nuytco also offers a 2000 ft. version of the Exosuit ADS™ with the same innovative features as available on our standard Exosuit ADS™1000. Contact us for details or to purchase.
