Abstract
Drag measurements were taken for a diver wearing various standard free swimming and scuba dress while being towed in the Naval Academy 120 foot ship model towing tank. Resistance curves are plotted for simulated swim speeds and five diver dress configurations. It was found that there was as much as a fourfold increase in diver drag for the fully equipped diver.
