In the US, an Oregon company called USIA makes the suits for the military. They do a camo drysuit that I'm jonesing for. .

Good for diving in a submerged forest.

I use to dive a military drysuit made by typhoon. Great quality.

Depending on the unit, suits are normal off the shelf suits. SEAL's are using whites fusion drysuits.

DUI is being used as well amoungs other branches.

I used to have a whites kodiak, didn't seem that much different. the viking pro HD or other rubberized hazmat/commercial suit is more of a difference than the military vs civilian shell suits.

Something to be considered is if a specific military drysuit will be sold to an individual. Maybe, maybe not.

Doesn't look like anything a normal diver would want to try more than once.
exhaust valve located middle of the chest, intake valve on the front of the left thigh and no warm collar option.
looks like a drysuit designed by a committee of people whe have never seen water othen than as ice cubes in their bourbon n cokes. The socks are certainly very comfortable for walking over a styrofoam floor, and painfull for walking over anything hard, like a pebble beach.
30 years ago the US army in europe had DUI CF200s for the divers in their pontoon bridging units, unfortunately once bought they stayed in stock for at least 10 years past the date where seals no longer sealed and zippers had started to leak.
Military dive gear usually was state of the art, 20 years before the military got it. If I wanted something to dive well, I'd look elsewhere.

Are the ones for the Seals limited to a certain depth, given that they dive to maximum 6-10m on a Oxy rebreather
