	diving, deep-sea. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Modern helmet diving suits usually consist of a waterproof one-piece suit made of canvas and rubber that entirely covers the wearer except for the head and hands.
		Helmet diving has the disadvantage of restricting the diver’s lateral movement because of the connection to the surface.
		The limitations imposed on the helmet diver’s lateral movement (because of the connection to the surface) led to early interest in alternative equipment that would permit freer movement, but the scuba apparatus was not developed by Jacques Yves Cousteau and Emil Gagnan until well into the 20th cent.

	Diving helmet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diving helmets are worn by mainly by professional divers engaged in surface supplied diving.
		The helmet seals the whole of the diver's face from the water, allows the diver to see, provides the diver with breathing gas, provides an anchor point on the diver for the umbilical supplying the breathing gas, protects the diver's head when doing heavy or dangerous work and provides voice communications with the surface.
		The helmet is more secure than breathing from a mouthpiece, which must be gripped between the teeth, in the event that the diver becomes unconscious.

	Diving helmet - Definition, explanation
		Diving helmets are worn by divers who need to speak and hear underwater.
		Diving helments are mostly used with surface supplied diving: the helmet acts as a firm anchor point on the diver for the umbilical supplying the breathing gas.
		An alternative to the diving helmet that allows communication with the surface is the full face diving mask.

	Standard diving dress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A standard diving dress consists of a metallic (copper, brass or bronze) diving helmet, an airline or hose from a surface supplied diving air pump, a canvas diving suit and boots.
		An important part of the equipment is the addition of lead weights, generally on the chest and boots, to counteract the buoyancy of the helmet and diving suit.
		The watershed development in hardhat diving was the "closed" dress, in 1837 by Augustus Siebe, where the helmet was sealed to the suit making the suit watertight, the helmet could not flood no matter how the diver moved, resulting in safer and more efficient underwater work.

	2003 NEA National Heritage Fellowships: NICHOLAS TOTH - Interview by Mary K. Lee
		The diving helmets brought over by the Greek island divers and helmet makers in the early 1900s were a more primitive looking helmet.
		The breast plate is the lower part of the diving helmet that fits over the diver's shoulders and around his back and chest.
		He realized that the old-fashioned helmets tended to have the exhaust valve positioned so that the diver had to tilt his head slightly back to tap the exhaust valve with his head.

		Helmets are among the most ancient forms of protection, and are known to have been worn by ancient Greeks and throughout the Middle Ages; at this time they were primarily military equipment, protecting the head from cutting blows with swords and flying arrows.
		This confusion is relieved by understanding that the perpendicular impact speed of the helmet is usually not the same as the road speed of the motor cycle and that the severity of the impact is determined not only by the speed of the head but also by the nature of the surface it hits.
		Helmet was acclaimed as a thinking person's heavy metal band, however, they have been criticized by some Metalheads for creating or paving the way for Nu Metal.

		The first true helmet-hose diving apparatus was designed around 1774 by the French scientist Freminet.The diver was supplied through a hose with air which was pumped from the surface with a bellows, allowing a constant flow of the air.
		A major step in increasing the diving depth and bottom time was made in the 20th century with the developing of the mixed breathing gases, in particular helium-oxygen.
		The hard-hat diving gear was used since the end of the 19th century by the sponge divers.

		Also, helmets that were used in underwater cutting or welding often bear small pits on the faceplate and breastplate as a result of contact with the ejection of hot slag from such work.
		The deep water helmet consisted of a basic Mark V with the spitcock feature removed and adapted to receive and mix the oxygen and helium in the proper proportions, by means of a large brass cannister at the rear.
		As rigged for diving, the air supply hose from the surface was fed into the whip, through the bracket, and then on to the gooseneck at the rear of the helmet.

	xdh -xtream diving helmet
		The major problem with the commercially used hard helmets, like the Kirby Morgan Superlite 17, is size, weight, and the need to have a neck opening large enough for the divers head to enter the helmet.
		A radical departure from any other solid diving helmet and still at the prototype stage in its development, the XDH nevertheless holds great potential for film cameramen, photographers, and in numerous other commercial and military diving applications.
		Although, Olivier has given up his record-breaking cave dives, his quest for equipment perfection continues with the development of a radically designed, dry diving helmet - the XDH - that is as small as possible; comfortable for long durations, and still safe and versatile enough to be useful to both commercial and technical sports divers.

		Of all the diving helmets manufactured, none commands more widespread public interest and attention than the United States Navy Mark V. It was the U.S. Navy's primary diving helmet from its creation in 1915-16 through to recent years, and many ex-Navy divers entered the commercial diving industry using it.
		But prior to the publication of the diving manual, Stillson produced a comprehensive and landmark document: The Report on Deep Diving Tests 1915, and it is in the pages of this document that the Mark V is born.
		With the knowledge gained from these dives and input from various Navy and commercial divers, Stillson arrived at a set criteria that he felt was essential to produce the best all around diving helmet for the U.S. Navy.

	History of the MkV helmet
		The idea of a rigid helmet and closed flexible dress dates back to Augustus Siebe in England in 1831, and by the Turn of the Century (1900) helmet diving on compressed air had become a fairly well-developed art with a variety of commercial equipment manufacturers around the world.
		The helmets generally followed Siebe's concept of a breastplate and three-light bonnet (the windows are known as "lights") with an interrupted-thread locking neck ring.
		This permitted the spit cock to be on the opposite side of the helmet from the exhaust valve, so that in cases where the diver was working on his right side in mud or sand (which could plug up the exhaust port) the spit cock could be used as an auxiliary manual exhaust valve.
