Brass & Antique Diving Helmets

Used since the early 1800s, when diving began to evolve from free swimming to long term submersion, the nautical diving helmet has come to be an enduring symbol of nautical life. After the earliest initial open designs, the first closed-helmet, bolted on models signified the beginning of modern diving. With a boom in mechanical and technical knowledge during the Second Industrial Revolution, diving began to come into its own; a valuable skill to navies and treasure hunters, and an art unto itself. These fabulous recreations of classic diving helmets make perfect gifts and add a sophisticated charm to any room or office.

Place one of these gleaming brass diving helmets on your desk or above the fireplace, or give the diver in your life a thoughtful memento of their passion. From brilliant chrome finishes to the dark realism of antiqued brass Mark V helmet, each of these dive helmets makes a fine addition to any home’s nautical theme.
