The history of diving helmet designs from around the world. The
diving helmet is an iconic piece of history. Years after it has
been retired by modern navies and professional divers it retains
its place on qualification badges and dive club logos. The early
years of diving produced some amazing and some bizarre ideas and
this book tracks their development and the reasoning behind them.
The different approaches taken by the designers and their relative
merits and successes are covered, taking away some of the mystery
from these copper, brass and bronze legacies of a bygone age. With
over 60 photos and illustrations the author also examines the
various dangers of diving including the obligatory giant squid, as
well as chronicling homemade diving equipment and his own 'deep sea
diving' adventure. With a foreword by Tony Groom, author of Diver
and In2Deep.
