      Why does the driver wear metallic cover while going into the sea?

    Answer:

                      The pressure increases with increase of depth of water. The increase  in pressure in 1 atm by 10 m increase of depth of water. If this pressure falls on the driver directly, he will not tolerate it. Therefore, if a driver wants to go to large depth, he should wear the metallic cover. The pressure of water column falls on the metallic cover and the pressure inside the cover remains nearly equal to atmospheric pressure. Thus, by wearing metallic cover, the driver remains quite safe.
