Why do deep-sea divers wear special suits?

Solution

Deep within the ocean, the pressure exerted by water is significantly higher than at sea level.
As a result, deep-sea divers wear scuba suits that protect them from the extreme pressure of the water.
These suits contain buoyancy compensators to counteract the weight of the diver's equipment and the pressure of the water at great depths.
