Ah yeah........the big squeeze.......remember reading back in high school a book call Pig Boats, was about old hardhat divers in the early 20's diving on a sunken WWI sub with gold on board. One diver got caught in that situation, the helmet squeeze. One of the younger upstart divers got to dig him out of his helmet with a spoon, all the rest of the day........
with a spoon, no knife or fork...........

John I've been helmet diving now for 26 years and have dove just about every type of contraption man has invented for for his head to dive with. I hardly beleave that back in those times the helmet or the cloth suit was capable of such suction effects. Now on the other hand I do have picture of a young MK v diver and his entire body shoved into his helmet because he fell off of his platform and increased his depth to another 56 feet below. The funniest thing is there are lots of helmet collectors in the US but very few actually use them, I am not one I use dive and play with every diving gaget I can get my hands on. Ron Ron Ron you mean even if a hardhat diver has a working check valve they can still get crushed into their helmet just by falling deeper? Man... had no idea it was THAT easy to get crushed down there. Or did i misunderstand that post?
