For the first time, a diver will be able to go about 1,000 feet deep to collect bioluminescent fish by wearing a six feet and six inches tall and 530-pounds weighing aluminum diving suit. Underwater diving has been spectacular adventure since the Greeks, which is performed to identify salvage ships, weapons and also to save lives of submariner.

The exosuit has been featured as lightweight with more accurate diving positions. It is also fixed with 18 rotary joints that allow the operator to free move its arms and legs. The most interesting fact regarding the suit is that it is fitted with four 1.6 horsepower thrusters to assist the movement of the diver. It also includes enough battery power and oxygen onboard to keep the diver alive for up to 50 hours.

The exosuit is also mounted with a suction device to capture specimens of the fish which will then be examined under the sensitive camera on the submerged vehicle, DeepReef-ROV.

Michael Lombardi, dive safety officer for the American Museum of Natural History, will be among the first people to check the exosuit later this year. Some commercial activities have been performed with the suit since it was constructed in 2012 with the biggest project was the huge underground water tunnels that service New York City.

The total cost of the exosuit is $600,000, which is on display till March 5. The main aim of sending Michael’s dive is to observe bioluminescent fish which uses chemical reactions to show off unique light patterns. Researchers want to gain insight into the diversification of these fish at places where there are no hindrances to prevent cross-breeding.

Another goal of researchers in for the trip is to understand the human brain by harvesting protein in the fish and then comparing DNA with the fish proteins. Vincent Pieribone, of Yale University, believes that the findings will help in understanding interaction of humans with injuries with robots.
