Morse MkV Diving Helmet Replica

[@gee1363]

That will look great in a Man Cave or Game Room. Did Morse, make Brass and Copper helmets? I see some replicas that are like this.

Check out the real ones here www.divedesco.com/C/22/Helmets

SO COOL! When I get the "man cave" finished,something like that is right up my alley...:)

[@nateharder2286]

Do some research, and make your own. It'll probably be more realistic and you'll get the satisfaction of making it.

I did a helmet dive in the Boy Scouts at Emerald Bay on Catalina Island around 1973. I toured the kelp forest and saw all kinds of sealife, even a little shark. It was epic. Troop 400! Eagle Patrol.

[@AndrewNewton]

That would have been an adventure back then

Classic! Andrew my Uncle has my Grandfathers who was a Naval Commander on the HMAS Sydney during WW2 and Korea. Dont know how but he ended up with 2x my uncle still has one I think probably his ceremonial sword that he used to let us play with also may have just ruined the second one. Although I never asked if the 2nd one is still about. As kids it was our go to helmet, bath toy, moonman space helmet, always took 2 kids to wear one to wear it the other to help carry it around as I remember even sitting in it felt like you'd be pushed through the ground 😁

[@AndrewNewton]

Classic Angus, would be worth tracking them down

[@EndiHamid]

Whoaaaa! So cool!!!

[@petemelanyevans9162]

You was probably referring to a mk 5 drager. The most popular hard hat .now a Kirby Morgan . But my opinion is scubidoos should steer clear of commercial equipment .

[@thenatedog]

how do you figure out the cg on something like that?

[@AndrewNewton]

Feet heavy is the way to go

[@peterfranzen3538]

Very cool, I recently went to Broome for a holiday at the pearl lugers museum we saw some of this type of helmet and saw presentation about the use of these in the pearl diving industry. Back your hanger I could help but notice the eagle in the back ground have you done a video on this one if so I missed it.

[@AndrewNewton]

That museum would be fascinating. Waiting for less than 20kn to fly the Eagle, any day now.

[@thenatedog]

Is that eagle a future video? i have almost bought one of those several times now.

[@AndrewNewton]

Coming soon, just need less than 20kn wind. The isobars are crowded just now.

[@thenatedog]

@@AndrewNewton always thought it would be a cool slopesoarer for looks, maybe not good flying necessarily, but something cool to pull out when at group events.

[@nadeemimran6295]

Andrew you cannot be out of water for long , happy diving

[@AndrewNewton]

Correct, although I am a sunny day diver now

[@landlocked4771]

That is very groovy man, I always thought they were cool and had no idea they made replicas also had no idea they still make them new and they are eight thoooooousand dollars.

[@jeffzhorton]

Your next challenge Andrew then is to fix it up with your usual mods and go dive off your pier and scare the puffers and Port Jacksons!

[@AndrewNewton]

Haha, if I could fit normal gear underneath I might.

[@rcflyer3984]

Didn't realise you were a diver cool.😃

[@AndrewNewton]

Cool diver, too cool this time of year

[@leemaples1806]

Oh no! Cpt Andrew has gone off the deep-end. Ah, No worries. I see he`s dressed for the occasion. :-)

[@AndrewNewton]

Very witty Lee

[@markawbolton]

You gonna go for a swim Sparky?

[@AndrewNewton]

Haha, not with this tin can on my head

[@humbertomontalban3932]

[@miguelvasquez8650]

[@AndrewNewton]
