First Rebreather Questions

Helmet mounted lights are excellent for illuminating your hands when tying off/whatever; just doesn't need to be bright.

For a light failure, reach to my head and turn one of the backups on. Can pull them off the helmet if necessary. No furkling around in pockets required.

In an emergency, blinding your buddy while looking at him in the face is always fun too. But I'll defer to your cave diving experience.

If only we could all dive in warm waters without thick gloves and numb fingers in places where you don’t have to climb through holes in the ground to the dive site.

Thankfully, helmet mounted lights have switches and can be used in different circumstances such as augmenting the primary light, illuminating around your hands whilst working, or pushing through a tight restriction.

yea but then you have to wear a helmet which is embarassing and not to mention completely unnecessary

Puzzling how helmets are uncommon in US overhead diving. Where do you keep all your backup lights or head torch for illuminating close up?

Strange how my helmet looks so scratched and scarred. Much better that than my cranium.

It's time for the community to find those cave divers who wear helmets and make sure their certifications are revoked.

Then they can be sent to re-education camps.

Picture perfect. I see no issues here.

Doesn't look like those lights can't shine in your face, they are pointing up!!


I do kinda find it funny that on hard ground.
People don't have to much trouble with headlamps.
(Unless it's my kid.)

But underwater its forbidden.

I think padi should have a course for wearing a light on your head.


This is from someone that doesn't wear a helmet underwater.
