is definitely a Millennium
helmet, designed to take safe diving into the 21st Century. Its stainless
steel, light weight investment-casting makes this helmet a one of a kind,
space age technology piece of equipment.
There is nothing else out there that can compare.
The G-2000SS was designed on "Solid Works - Three Dimensional Software"
and programmed for CNC Machining. Its all-metal construction makes this
helmet easy to adapt and attach auxiliary equipment, such as lights, camera,
etc.
The front port (window) is made from the strongest machinable "Lexan"
material for extra safety. The mounting holes in the port are individually
drilled through, allowing the retaining bolts to pass through the window
itself, thus reducing the risk of the window separating from the helmet in
the event of a hydrogen explosion during underwater cutting operations.
The helmet has a unique retaining system to lock the neck dam in place as
well as securing the helmet on the diver's neck.
The 2nd stage demand capability is the best balanced, easiest breathing
regulator in the industry today. The POSEIDON CYCLON 5000 has been tested
and approved for depths up to 980 feet of seawater. This regulator has been
incorporated to fit within the helmet, where it is fully protected at the
lower front portion of the nose area, which is an integral part of the
helmet shell. This configuration allows for ready adaptation of a gas
reclaim valve assembly.
Our design does not require a side block, which was replaced instead with
a free flow valve in line with the 2nd stage regulator.
The back mounted manifold contains a screen/filter to prevent debris from
getting into the second stage, and the two check valve assemblies, one for
the main supply and the other for the reserve backup air or gas supply. This
configuration allows for 5/16 ID tubing connection between the manifold and
the 2nd stage regulator to be encapsulated inside the helmet.
The G-2000SS is a perfectly balanced helmet that weighs in at
approximately 29 lbs.
The helmet is uncomplicated and of rugged construction which is easy to
maintain.
