Diving with the US Navy Mark III Dive Helmet | Gallagan's Island |
Переглядів 3,2 тис.3 роки тому
This helmet has quite a story, it was made by A. J. Morse & Son around the the turn of the century and started out its life as a US Navy Mark I, a 5 bolt helmet. Sometime between 1913 and 1935 the Navy sent this helmet to Schrader to have it converted from a bolt type helmet to an interrupted thread type helmet. To continue with the Schrader name on the tag, we used all A. Schrader's Son gear (...

SNEAD helmets have always had a mysterious past, with little information available about their history. Founded in 1849, SNEAD & COMPANY IRON WORKS, of Louisville, Kentucky, was a cast-iron works business that manufactured just about everything from book-ends, lamps, window frames, tea kettles, propeller shafts, library bookstacks, coalhole covers, dive helmets, and so much more. In 1898 the co...

I spent the day diving with my sister, donning antique dive gear and for her first ever dive in heavy gear, she chose to use the US Navy Mark III. Now this helmet has quite a story, it was made by A J Morse & Son around the turn of the century. It started out its life as a 5 bolt helmet, making it a Navy Mark I helmet, and at some point the US Navy had the helmet updated from a bolt helmet to a...
Diving with Turn of the Century Morse Dive Gear
Переглядів 3,4 тис.3 роки тому
I was able to step back in time and dive with some gear that's well over a hundred years old. Considering its age, the helmet was in great shape with the only maintenance required being to soak its leather and let it expand, we're pleased with the minimal leakage, one more good soaking should stop it completely. All the gear in the video was made by A. J. Morse & Son, who started manufacturing ...
Diving The Miller Dunn DIVINHOOD STYLE 2 at Peace River
Переглядів 8154 роки тому
We went up to do some fossil hunting and diving in the pristine waters of Peace River, which had risen 10 feet above normal, bringing with us a DIVINHOOD STYLE 2 made by the MILLER-DUNN CO. in Miami, Florida in the 20's. This style 2 features a rare MILLER-DUNN option for hard wired comms with speakers on the top and side of the helmet

Even though this isn't dive related, I still wanted to make a short video riding around on the Janus Halcyon. Now I really do love this bike, it's not only beautiful but a lot of fun to ride. This motorcycle has easily become one of my favorites but don't just take my word for it, go check out Janus Motorcycles for yourself!

Diving The Hammond Shallow Water Dive Helmet at Blue Heron Bridge
Переглядів 2,6 тис.4 роки тому
For my first official video here on youtube, we finally made it out to Blue Heron Bridge for a quick dive using The Hammond, a solid brass helmet that was produced in very limited numbers. Hopefully we'll be back there soon enough for another video with another helmet, and fingers crossed for some clearer water! And I wanted to give a BIG thank you to everyone that helped me finally get started...

      There are still a few companies in the US that manufacture it (DESCO & Schrader) to the original standard. If you are looking for something old, I'd recommend a few dive helmet related Facebook groups, or there's a helmet auction at least once a year (Nation's Attic). Sometimes you can get lucky at antique shops and swap meets

      This helmet was made by Gary Harris over 30 years ago, I don't know if he got the measurements from eyeballing it or from studying the original film used helmet that's in FL. Be sure to check out the Brass Hat Diver channel for more videos! www.youtube.com/@brasshatdiver

    • @gallagansisland
      @gallagansisland Рік тому

      It's not supposed to, but this was a test dive for the gear. The leather gaskets were old and needed to be soaked. I do like the Russian equipment we have in the shop, although a 3 bolt suit is a pain to get into lol

  • @davidcrandall2415
    @davidcrandall2415 Рік тому

    See the videos from Mythbusters where they purposely cause a catastrophic failure of the pressurized air in the suit. The victim was an actual human skelton,, over which they wrapped and stitched together a human form out of pig flesh, with a "stomach" with "contents". The suited victim was lowered to depth in a sharkcage, with several video cameras on him/it. The airline was compromised, and the cameras captured the suit constricting, with the simulated red liquid filled stomach pushed into the helmet. Commentors noted that they heard the skeltons bones breaking, but I think that this detail was later edited out. It was gory enough! Must watch.
