These are they, LP's 'deep-sea' divers, of course, when I was a kid, people still
used suits like this for industry (oil & gas) and pleasure or
naturalism/scientific exploration, yet now they are archaic-looking set-ups
which make you think of Captain Nemo and his Nautilus!
They all seem to come in every colour,
naturally as the six poses would fit on a small tool, and other colours are
available, including the buff-yellow one someone sent-in last time (I'll try
and find the link and put it at the bottom when I upload this), the colours
seen here are also all to be found in the 54mm astronauts, along with a dark
green.
Plastic Warrior magazine (No.166) showed some Lifeguard-branded four-figures cards from 1970 in Zenith (New Jersey) importer's packaging, with silver highlights instead of gold, black gloves and new plastic colours, but they may turn-out to be copies; as have Lucky's astronauts also been much plagiarised?

Hey Hugh I been digging on Greedbay looking for these Little "Deep Sea Divers" I had as a kidd.
"Lifeguard" figures I believe they are called.
Are they known by any other brand I can search for please ?
