US Navy and Commercial Diving Helmets
Standard Diving Helmets: DESCO and A J Morse & Son
DESCO manufactures a variety of carefully crafted quality standard diving helmets. A "Standard" helmet is defined as a helmet utilizing a bonnet and breastplate. The helmet rests on the divers shoulders and the divers head has free movement inside the bonnet. Modern low volume diving helmets rest on the diver's head and the helmet follows where the diver's head is looking.
Our line of lightweight commercial diving helmets include Sponge, Abalone, Agar, Browne Commercial, Lightweight Fisheries, and Lightweight Standard Commercial models. These helmets use the Sponge helmet style dress collar and will work well with the Chinese TF canvas dresses.
Our heavy commercial helmet includes the three and four light Heavy commercial helmet, Nuclear Helmet, Fisheries Helmet, and Stillson Concept helme models. They Use the Morse Commercial dress collar.
DESCO offers the US Navy Mark V Diving Helmet and US Navy Helium helmets in DESCO and A J Morse and Son models. These helmets use the US Navy pattern dress collar.
DESCO also offers our Shallow Water Diving Helmet in one, two and four light configurations. These helmets do not attach to a diving dress and can be used wearing a swimming suit, wet suit, or coveralls.
All our helmets can be ordered in Tin plated or high polished finish.

Standard Dress Diving is much different than diving with SCUBA equipent. DESCO advises that anyone who wishes to dive standard gear recieve training in the operation and maintenance of the gear. We also recommend you make some dives with competent supervision until you are versed and comfortable with the equipments operation. At all times best diving practices should be observed.
