A full-face diving mask is a type of diving mask that seals the whole of the diver's face from the water and contains a mouthpiece, demand valve or constant flow gas supply that provides the diver with breathing gas.

A mid-cut helmet or gunfighter cut helmet is a combat helmet that is roughly a compromise between a full-cut helmet and a high-cut helmet, providing a similar profile and some of the extensive protection of a full-cut helmet while also allowing for the light weight and ear protection mounting permitted by a high-cut helmet.
Cleaning to remove salt water, sand, mud, and other relatively harmless environmental contaminants is intended to reduce degradation of the equipment and improve comfort during the next use. In most cases soaking or rinsing in fresh water is sufficient, but detergents and occasionally scrubbing before rinsing can speed up the process.
Lower seal – Most deep-water helmets have a means of excluding water from the helmet regardless of the posture of the diver. Shallow water helmets rely on the diver keeping the helmet approximately upright, and the flow of breathing air keeps the water level lower than the diver's nose and mouth, and excess air escapes at the bottom of the ...
Oxygen arc cutting and arc welding underwater requires greater skill and stamina than working in a dry and stable environment. The underwater environment imposes several limitations and restrictions on both the equipment and the operator, and the restriction of short bottom times at greater depths for surface-oriented divers makes efficient working important to getting the job done in a ...
Surface-supplied divers are generally required to carry an emergency gas supply, also known as a bailout set, which is usually back-mounted open circuit scuba connected into the breathing gas supply system by connecting an interstage hose to the gas switching block, (or bailout block), mounted on the side of the helmet or full-face mask, or on ...
[1] [2] Surface supplied divers usually use a full face mask or diving helmet, but in some systems the half mask may be used. [2] When the human eye is in direct contact with water as opposed to air , its normal environment, light entering the eye is refracted by a different angle and the eye is unable to focus the light on the retina.
