The early "frogman" from America was the beginning of the US Navy SEALs (from what I'm lead to believe) The outfits they wore were very dangerous and clumsy, if one was to tear it it would fill with water drowning the wearer. Ofcourse they werent like the SEALs today. Back in WW2 I'm assuming they were only involved in Underwater Demolitions, detonating mines and so on so forth. I guess thats where the name UDT came from (Underwater Demolitions Team) Thats the extent of my knowledge when it comes to the early days of these guys.
