Umbilical Salvage Rig

Description

The classic "hard hat" diving suit, this outfit features a heavy protective suit, a helmet that completely encases the head and provides windows to the front and sides, weighted boots, and a weight belt.  The umbilical lines include an air hose, a safety line, and a communications wire for surface-to-diver contact.  These lines may be as long as desired, subject to availability and the normal considerations of pressure and diver safety.  A compressor or manually-operated hand pump is also required for this rig.

The umbilical salvage rig is subject to considerable hazards when the diver works among overhanging rocks or in submerged wrecks, since the umbilical hoses can be severed in such conditions.

All physical tasks are increased by two levels of difficulty for any character wearing an umbilical salvage rig.
