Looks to me like she might be wearing doubles. There seems to be the yellow shoulder/crown of her right-hand cylinder barely visible.

Look what I came across anyone recognize?

And there was I thinking it was a early Mk 10, must look closer. I think MK10, based on the swivel cap.

But last picture is not Micro Piel, but full huge helmet

(from Les grandes vacances (film) - Wikipedia )

Sorry for arriving late on this one.

Piel was famous until their closing time in the late 80s - earlier 90s in France, for being very innovative. This helmet is probably the best example. I must admit it's the first time I'm able to read a full description of the micro regaluteur, from a copy of the orignal document moreover. Thanks a lot.

Just one thing though : the picture with the diving helmet is not taken from "Les grandes vacances" but from one of the movie in the "Gendarme de St Tropez" series. I don't know which one though. In any case, Louis de Funès was the main character (on the picture, the one on the right in the uniform).
