Abstract
A diving umbilical cable suitable for supporting an underwater diver and, at the same time, supplying lines for air supply, depth measuring and communication elements such as, but not limited to, telephone wires, television coaxial cable, and fiberoptic bundles. The air supply line is a standard load bearing hose whose axis is substantially the same as that of the umbilical cable, around which are helically disposed any number of elements. Such elements are longer per unit length of the diving umbilical cable than is the center load bearing hose. Extruded over the center load bearing hose with the helically wrapped elements is a protective jacket which assists in maintaining the helically wrapped elements in position and, at the same time, protects them from wear and tear. The protective jacket is perforated along its length so that air may escape when the umbilical cable is lowered into the water and water may escape when the diving umbilical cable is pulled from the water.
