dive helmet

Deep-sea breathing apparatus

A dive helmet is a rigid, sealed helmet worn by divers for underwater breathing, typically connected by hose to a surface air supply.

Traditional designs feature a brass or copper shell with viewing ports, secured to a weighted suit.

Modern versions may integrate into full diving systems with communication equipment and video cameras.

The salvage crew wore dive helmets rated for deep-water work.
