Diving Helmet training is the thing I've been looking forward to most about our aquanaut training. I've rarely had to opportunity to walk on the ocean floor, but the times I have done it are exhillerating. Its like walking on the moon!
Today's training was all land-based, as there is much to learn about this type of diving. The safety risks and concerns with diving helmets while saturating are vastly different from the concerns you'd normally have while on SCUBA. For example, there are 5 different ways to get air into your helmet if there is an issue with your primary air source (I wanted to make sure that my husband Alex knows this fact! I'm being safe!)
I'm so excited to get into the water tomorrow while wearing the helmet. This technology has been around so long and I'm very excited to get training in it.
