Abstract: A protective fairing encloses the head and torso of a SCUBA diver wearing diving equipment, with clearance throughout. A viewing shell section of the fairing covering the diver head is attached to a torso covering shell section to form a hydrodynamic shape facilitating forward underwater movement by reducing drag. Such torso shell section has vent holes formed therein to prevent water displacement within the fairing by air and is provided with buoyancy distributing weights to neutralize the effect of positive buoyancy during forward movement through seawater.
