- Holy Diver: This suit provides life support to the user while underwater, as well as protection from any underwater elements they might encounter.
- Waterweave: Straight from Wookieepedia: "Waterweave deflects force applied to it, and its natural buoyancy allowed a wearer of the material to fight in aquatic environments without being dragged down by what would otherwise have been bulky and restricting clothing."
- Energy and Lightsabers: Being that it is designed to be worn underwater, this suit offers little to no protection against energy weapons or lightsabers. That said, there is such a thing as a waterproof lightsaber, so avoid getting into any underwater duels while wearing it.
- Wetsuit Compromised: It is possible for the suit to malfunction, especially if it sustains damage or the electronic components are destroyed. This will impair the life support systems and/or compromise the suit's integrity, which does not bode well for the diver.
To all things there is a season - that is Arrius Messala's philosophy. The Sith Lord specializes in creating tech which is meant for extremely specific situations and unique beings. This diving suit is designed to protect the wearer against common hazards faced underwater. It is sealed and protective enough that even an individual with a physical aversion to water could use it to go for a swim.
