Cavern helmet?

[ghost483]

I couldn't find anything by searching. I'm hoping that someone might suggest a place I can buy a lightweight helmet for cavern diving.

I don't know if I'm clumsy, or vision restricted, but it seems like every cavern dive (or overhead environment), I end up bumping my head. This morning, I have bruises on my forehead, that I will spend the whole day explaining.

Help?

send a pm to squirrel girl. She sidemounts and dives with a helmet.

i'm not sure if she's here, too, so you might want to try her on cavediver.net

I have sidemount helmet article that should prove helpful.

However, I'm curious how you're bumping your head in cavern dives. Instead of buying equipment, I'd first look at improving technique. It's more cost effective, and better for you and the cave in the long run.

I can't help with the first part, but have a question about the second.

Are you perhaps staying too close to the ceiling from a fear of silting?

Skip the helmet, you don't need one. Work on your skills and cave(rn) awareness.

Are you looking down, focused on your reel the whole time? Swimming really fast?

I bump my head from time to time, I've never hit it so hard to make a bruise tho.
