LM Diving Helmet

Light Monkey Helmet Inner Cradle The Light Monkey Diving Helmet offers increased head protection for diving activities where there is risk of head impact and is often recommended for use with DPV's in overhead environments. The helmet shell is an injection molded high density polyethylene (HDPE) suspended over an adjustable inner cradle. It features nine ventilation holes on the top and sides to release trapped air and has no foam lining that would make it overly buoyant. The adjustable chin strap is fashioned from soft nylon webbing and has a quick disconnect buckle for easy fastening. The LM Diving Helmet is lightweight and low-profile, durable yet comfortable and available in your choice of latte brown, licorice black, cherry red, berry blue, or lemon yellow . The LM Diving Helmet is not suitable for other types of sports activities such as climbing, cycling, skiing or personal watercraft.

The LM helmet fits most heads with a circumference from { 20 to 23 in | 52 to 58 cm }. Only one size is available, and it does not fit everybody, so we recommend you actually measure to be sure of fit before you order.

Light Monkey Helmet Many divers also use helmets as a platform to attach backup lights, primary lights and even small cameras. However, doing so will degrade the the head impact protection benefit of the helmet. Light Monkey has affixed a warning label on the helmet specifically recommending against any form of modifications to the helmet if you wish to maintain the integrity of the impact protection.

Helmets Have Their Place In Diving

For a while, helmets fell out of favor with the diving community because they were perceived as an indicator that the diver lacked confidence in their buoyancy control skills. However, a head impact that would be a minor circumstance above water can have serious consequences when it occurs underwater. Helmets have returned to the sport with the emergence of the popularity of sidemount cave diving, sump diving, as well as high speed diver propulsion vehicles. In many cases, these types of activities make wearing a proper helmet an essential part of an equipment configuration for prudent exploration divers. The typical bicycle helmet is unacceptable for diving as its foam construction makes it positively buoyant. You should use a suspension design that has been adjusted so that your skull does not normally contact the sides of the helmet shell. Best practice for the use of all protection helmets is that they should be retired if they are dented, cracked or damaged and keep in mind that no helmet can offer full protection against impact and possible injury.
