The helmet was only a prototype and was built to work with a rebreather. The helmet did not use a neck dam, but rather was attached to a dry suit neck yoke. It had an oral-nasal mask and a wrap-around polycarbonate face visor. The visor was hinged and could be opened sideways. The white shell was fiberglass.
