Hi everyone!
After a few years where diving has become a real passion (obsession, addiction!) I am soon to take a month off work to do my first two cave courses in Mexico.
I have all my gear except for two crucial items:
helmet: I have a BIG head (61cm without hood), does anyone know of any brand that can cater to this size? My previous one was self made from a skateboard helmet, but not having spares and being bad quality it del apart after a few seasons. Any suggestions?
lights: I am after compact, lightweight lights to clip to the sides of my helmet. These are meant to help me see, train etc and not primarily for video
Thank you in advance !!

. The next disadvantage is you will find that the light reflects off every particulate in the water right back to your eyes. Rolling, jerking your head from side to side, or vertically shaking it to give line signals is also suboptimal. Helmet mounted lights do have a place in cavediving, usually solo exploration, but they are not the way to go while you are under an instructor's supervision.
