I've been looking around for DIR video and have found a lot of cave stuff. I've been thinking about it, and wonder why divers don't wear some kind of hard hat/helmet? I can see if you're just swimming bumping your head isn't that big of a deal, but when people are using scooters I'd imagine it could hurt a bit.
I know one answer is to keep your buoyancy in check and it won't be a problem, but surely every once in a while theres the ole "look back to check on buddy, glide into a rock" or perhaps more likely "silt out touch navigate" scenarios.
Maybe its just not that big of a problem. I've never been diving in a cave so I don't have much of a frame of reference.
There was one thread about mounting lights on helmets. I know thats a DIR no no (and goofy looking to boot - I saw some pic of a guy with three huge lights plastered to his noggin). This question isn't about that.
