Hard Hat Diving at Wellington Point in 1986
In 1986 I and my friends Jeff and Paul were lucky enough to try diving in authentic World War II hard hat equipment. It was done at Wellington Point in Brisbane, which is a terrible place to dive (visibility was zero for the whole time) but it was a lot of fun. Photos were taken by Paul.
You can just make out the tea-towel that was placed in the rim of the helmet which you have to use to equalise. Because you can't hold your nose as you would on scuba, you squash your nose into the tea-towel and blow. Crude, but it works.
