Well, it's not fully confirmed, and I made a mistake in saying it's inspired by the album cover itself, it's possible that The World's design is inspired by the name of the song itself "Holy Diver" as it seems to possess diving related equipment  ( " It wears small, simple twin  diving cylinders  on its back, connecting via short, twin ridged cables to the rear of its mask; perhaps secured by thick, ridged or puffered straps running from the rear of its waist over both its shoulders to its front." ).

Not confirmed and superficial, at best, but a possible refference.
