Thanks for this video! Just made me one from an old helmet that my son used to wore. It turned out great

I really enjoyed the video. Simple, strait to the point. As I was watching, I was thinking of changing my bungee on my XDeep….. which made me think : Inside the helmet where the knots are on the side and in the back… I would tend not to glue the inner padding where the knots are to allow changing the bungees incase it would be needed. Great job. Thanks!

I myself use my tactical bump helmet which I use for tac training there's no need to take off styrofoam and comes already with side rails and velcro patches so you can add lights or whatever you like using. You should try looking into using them I'm pretty sure you would like them. It's what works for me.

Great video, helmet turned out great..

Great videos. So informative. Could you provide a link to the mesh helmet liner material? I cannot seem to find it.

One idea: For removing styrofoam you can use acetone to melt it out. Of course it can be used only on shells from epoxy fiberglass and acetone resistant plastic. Ie. ABS plastic and holding straps may be unwantedly melted as well. It smell bad, but acetone do his job effortlessly. Especially for small residues of styrofoam it may help.

really good video, i will try to do same ;)

This awesome. You should sell kits to make this stuff ;).

Good morning. I saw your video and I would like to make the helmet too. I would like to know what material you used to make the padding after removing the original padding (polystyrene). Another question: how many lumens have the torches applied to the helmet? Thank you.

nice

Hi, i can't find the glue liquid Moly 8800?? Witch glue else i can use?? Very good video!! Thanks!!

thank you so much. what hood is this that you are using in this video?

hi, what is the thickness of the nylon mesh you are using?

what is inside your nylon ? where can i buy it?

Hey Achim great video and very well explained. One quick question about the tension on the rear bungee. I agree that the bungee on your first helmet was a bit loose but I am considering having the rear bungee lying close to the helmet but not under tension. Let's imagine the worst case scenario. You're in an overhead environment with low visibility and one hand on the guideline when you're primary light fails. Of course we should have the switch for the backup light facing outward but seeing as Murphy is our ever following dive buddy, the button faces towards the helmet we can't turn the light on without removing it. Trying to one handedly unclip a boltsnap on a bungee that's under tension might be quite fidgety and frustrating. Granted it's a very unlikely scenario but that would be my reasoning for cutting the bungee to length and not have it under tension. I would love to hear your feedback on this if it's a valid approach or creating hazards of it's own.

you are awesome mate..you are being my distance instructor!! good garage you have bro! i've seen so many videos from you.. writing to you from Spain. Where are you teaching/ living? germany..netherlands? wonderfull to see you on the videos! don't stop it..! all the best!!

Does this two torches count in backup lights which are recommended besides main lamp?

Hi Achim, What kind of light do you attach to your helmet? Trying to build my own and looking for lights...

what is a light's ?

Thanks for this video.good afternoon. What material do you use to fill the helmet instead of the foam that comes from the factory? att Diego Brito, Brazil

What glue exactly do you use? I tried it with some silicon but nfortunately not with the desired result... thx

Hi Joachim! Hammer Videos die Du da produzierst! Mein Respekt! Ich habe eine Frage, wo her bekomme ich dieses “Inner Lining”. Nach langem stöbern bin ich noch immer erfolglos. Hast Du da evtl nen Link oder nen Kontakt? Wäre sehr nett und mein Dank voraus. Gruß Marcus

Why not have the knots outside the helmet?

can you post the name of the helmet that you bought please, so I could find one?

This is exactly what I was looking for. Actually I can find that exact helmet here in Malaysia too, it's the same helmet but different brands. OEM from China for sure :-) Really interesting that you are using that nylon airy materials to line the helmet, one question, when air is expelled from the regulator, some air might creep inside the helmet, can the air escape through the nylon material, or is it an idea to cut holes through the lining to match the top holes in the helmet to let the air escape?

What is this mat and where to buy it? In a gardening shop or more metal shop? Because I have the same problem that the helmet is too big.

hi , what was the bungee cord diameter ? thank you.

Can you use acetone to remove the styrofoam faster ?

The new helmet is by far not as good as the old one. With no run-faster-stripes you will always dive last ;))

Why not just buy a helmet that is specifically made for cave diving?
