how does he equilize without pinching the nose? Also, where is the regulator? it goes right into suit? seems like he will have a high CO buildup in the suit this way. Also, what happans if it starts to free flow? You sure it;s not a 'land based' suit just for contaminated environment?

I think that is called a "Jack Brown" mask. It is a light weight commercial divers mask. When surface supplied air is used, it is passed directly through the mask and a regulator is not required. It also comes in a regulator equipped version for use with tanks. The regualator mounts on the side of the mask.

Perhaps...
Here's a "Jack Brown" mask.
Also, for those who think dive hats are hot - check this site out:

"A selection of Chinese (above) and Korean (below) dive hats from Bryan. These are all for sale, all new, running $750 to $1000 delivered to your door. You can email him here if you're interested."
Geez. That's a heck of a deal, actually. Man. I'd love to have one.

Found it, your right:
MORSE SHALLOW WATER HELMET
Morse designed a No. 15 or shallow water dive helmet in the 1930's. The helmet is made of spun copper. In the front of the helmet is a large unobstructed window made of shatterproof glass, curved to conform to the helmet. Lead weights, neatly shaped, fit snugly to the lower portion of the helmet, one at the front and one at the back. Each weight is held in place by two anchored brass bolts with wing nuts. A suitable channel built into the head of the helmet distributes the incoming air about the diver's face. The helmet weight is approximately 60 pounds total, and sold for $120.00 new in 1937.
