The Diver's Helmet is a beautiful detailed reproduction of the famous U.S. Navy Mark V Helmet designed
by George Stillson in 1915. The Mark V was unique in its time for the hinged, rather than screw-in face
plate. The Mark V Diving Helmet became the standard U.S. Navy Diving equipment and was used for
most salvage work during World War II. The MK V Diving Helmet was so well designed that it was used
for U.S. Navy Diving with very few modifications until succeeded by the MK12 in 1980. |
