DESCO Diving Helmets
Their range of helmets includes both classical and contemporary designs, all manufactured using time proven
techniques and materials.
The DESCO Air Hat
The DESCO Air Hat was first designed in 1968 and has continued to be enhanced since then to meet the needs of the commercial
diving industry. The hat is designed to maximise safety, durability, and reliability and to keep routine maintenance and care simple.
The DESCO Air Hat is a free flow helmet that is remarkable for both its ruggedness and its simplicity of design. It is
ideal for working in hazardous environments where contamination of the diver is a concern. The free flow or overpressure design
allows for a constant positive pressure to be maintained in the Air Hat. The standard double exhaust incorporates
two separate successive seals to restrict the possibility of leak back.
 The Air Hat can be donned and removed by the diver without assistance from the tender. Using the adjustable exhaust valve the Air Hat can be adjusted to either side of neutral bouyancy underwater with ease. It has a low centre of gravity and excellent fore and aft balance so it rests comfortably on the divers head. The interior headliner is adjustable for size and the foam pads are covered in leather for comfort. The Air Hat comes standard with a neck dam and leading dry suit manufacturers offer a DESCO yoke to directly mate the helmet to the dress in place of the neck dam. Installation of the insert ring to the dry sit is quick and easy, and does not require tools. Sealing of the Air Hat at the neck is achieved with two independent but complementary seals which are air and watertight. The DESCO Air Hat can be disassembled and reassembled using only a screwdriver and wrench. Standard Features of the DESCO Air Hat are

The Heavyweight - Three Light Commercial Helmet
This heavy commercial helmet uses the standard commercial pattern breastplate and top shell. It is similar in
material and construction to the U.S. Navy Mark V but makes use of a simpler,
although equally rugged design.
