This worked great! I sold my Miller 400 and Superlite 17B and now exclusively use this helmet. I’ve attained a depth of 215′ in this rig. But did need to add some weight.
Great Stuff !

No weights for the kid walking on the bottom? and what keeps the helmet attached to the diver’s shoulders?
It would just bob to the surface, wouldn’t it?

I think this is the 3rd or 4th suggested version of a home-made diving helmet we’ve seen here, no?
