This page describes a type of

Frogman (disambiguation) Frogman is a popular term for a
scuba diver. The word arose around
1940 from the appearance of a diver in shiny wetsuit and with large fins on his feet. The term preferred by
scuba users is 'diver', but the word "frogman" persists in usage by non-divers, especially in the media, often to refer to professional scuba divers in organizations such as the police.
