My name is Martin Morris. I started commercial diving after
graduating dive school in 1981. Several years ago I started my
company "HeavyMetalDivers" to make diving helmets for friends who
liked the helmets I made and used offshore and inland around Texas
and Louisiana.
The "Gladiator" diving helmet is our product. This design is a result
of a long series of working prototype helmets built for R & D
purposed under the stipulation that all units had to be fully
functionable and diveable. Simplicity and Durability are 2 qualities we
demand of our helmets.
The "Gladiator" is a bronze shelled diving helmet designed for air and
mixed gas diving. The demand regulator is a "Poseidon" Xstream Duration
which is O2 safe. Having very few parts the Xstream regulator is
extremely simple, easy to maintain, and quickly removed / reinstalled
into helmet. The regulator is extremely easy breathing at any depth
with proper air / gas pressure - 125 psi over bottom.
Alot of research and testing was done before the "Poseidon" Xstream
regulator was chosen for use. The design is very simple with very
few parts. The breathing characteristics were by far better and more
suitable to commercial diving. The manufacturing company is solid with
one of the best reputations. There is no constant need to adjust
the regulator when in the water since there are no springs. Due to
the design there is virtually no breathing resistance with the Xstream.
We also make the "Crusader" helmet which is an AirHat. It is freeflow
design with no demand regulator, no oral nasal, and dual exhaust
standard features. It is lower in price and also can be upgraded to
gas hat.
We are currently building a helmet dedicated for SAT utilizing a
Jewell reclaim unit.
Our helmets are built to last!
