I'm hoping there's a specialised term out there as the literal translation is too awful for words! |

Erklärung:
I have nothing better to offer, I'm afraid... but the Italian term sounds quite awful too!
After all, it was a very short-lived experiment in a very peculiar Italian story; it's not surprising that it left no trace in English.
I took the above expression from the book
The Black Prince and the Sea Devils: The Story of Prince Valerio Borghese and the Elite Units of the Decima Mas
by Jack Greene, Alessandro Massignani
you'll find it at page 5 of the excerpt offered at:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0306813114/ref=sib_dp_srch_p...
which you may possibly wish to read to get some background to you text
you can also read this - in Italian:

Fragesteller: Thanks Alfredo - you're right - it doesn't sound any better in Italian than it does in English - and I fear that a literal translation is in order as there doesn't appear to be a specific technical term for this ...!
Fragesteller: P.S Good links!

Fragesteller: Thanks Bruna - I completely agree that "camminator" is basically a description of the "palombari", which I translated as "deep-sea divers". I also agree with Alfredo, in that the problem is that unlike many other forms of diving, "palombari" doesn't have a synonym and I couldn't repeat the term. In the end I translated as "sea-bed divers" (probably not the best solution but I had to try and get across the fact that these "camminatori" operated on the sea bed)...!!

| deep sea crawlers
Erklärung:
Not sure, but they may be referring to sea floor transportation (crawling submarines - with optional carying capacity). there are various patentsd and other documents describing these devices for mining and military uses.

Fragesteller: Good suggestion! I'd thought of this too but from the context, it definitely does refer to the divers themselves,
Thanks!
