Mark VIII frogman

The Mark VIII Frogman Equipment Set was a specialized diving gear used by U.S. Navy SEALs in the 1950s and 1960s. It included a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba system), lightweight wetsuits, fins, and underwater communication equipment, allowing divers to operate covertly for military missions. Designed for underwater combat, reconnaissance, and sabotage, it enabled effective, silent movement beneath the water’s surface. This gear was a significant advancement in military diving technology, laying the groundwork for modern special operations diving equipment.
