Hi Doug The helmet is called a Neff-Ducey. In 1965 my then tender and my self designed and built this helmet. My diving career was about to come to an end due to hand jetting ear infections. Joe Savoie had invented the first light weight diving helmet but at that time he had stopped building them. So Mike and I decided to build our own. Historical Diving Society has these and other diving helmets listed under modern diving. Thanks for asking. Jerry

Hi Doug, nice to meet you ! Sure I have, I`m official tester of the Dinosphere diving helmet, and the helmet is designed and created (made) by my great friend Dino Matkovic from island of Korcula, Croatia. I`m just preparing a few articled about this helmet... :) Keep you updated buddy, OK ? Best wishes from Bugojno town, Bosnia and Herzegovina !
Well the water filled liner was a disaster waiting to happen from the start. It's a perfect example of what happens when engineers, not divers try to "improve" the equipment. The liner held nearly 2 gallons (16 lbs) of water, just imagine what would have happened if it leaked while the diver was using it! not to mention it would freeze in cold water applications, all that frozen around the divers face, brrrr.
Do you have the original oral-nasal for it? they're rare today. The original was very wide with a sweet smell to it.
