The Kirby Morgan 57 helmet features our revo-
lutionary new SuperFlow
Regulator. It's machined from a stainless steel casting
for the ultimate in performance and reliability.
Like all KMDSI regulators on our helmets and
Band Masks, we use only regulators that are specifi-
cally designed for surface-supplied diving, that will
perform over the wide range of pressures delivered
by low pressure compressors. An ordinary SCUBA
regulator mounted on a diving helmet is not capable
of delivering the gas you need at heavy work loads.
This commercially rated fully diver adjustable regu-
lator delivers all the breathing gas you might require
for the most demanding work underwater.
The Kirby Morgan 57 also includes our Quad-
Valve™ Exhaust System. It's recommended for div-
ing in biologically contaminated water, when you're
properly trained and equipped, using recommended
procedures. This new exhaust has exceptionally low
exhalation resistance that you must experience to
appreciate.
B WARNING
Before attempting any diving in any
type of contaminated water, a com-
plete diving and topside course in
hazardous materials emergencies
should be completed. The divers and
the topside team must be properly
trained and have the proper safety
equipment. All helmets and suits can
leak water under certain conditions.
Divers should use extreme caution
when diving in contaminated waters.

The Kirby Morgan
77 represents the first in a new
®
generation of stainless steel diving helmets that pro-
vide an alternative for the diver who prefers a metal
helmet. The helmet features a stainless steel version
of our new REX
regulator, which offers the best
®
performance of any Kirby Morgan system.
It has the best work-of-breathing performance when
compared to ANY other commercial diving helmet.
The Kirby Morgan 77 Dive Helmet has been tested
and meets or exceeds European CE requirements and
is fully commercially rated.
The advantages of this all stainless steel helmet in-
clude the following:
• No refinishing required if the surface is scratched
or gouged.
• Faster production of helmets for customer delivery.
• Elimination of threaded inserts for securing the port
retainer to the helmet shell.
• No need to remove the handle to remove the port
retainer.
• One piece sideblock includes both the free-flow
valve and the Emergency Gas System valve.
• The helmet ring is an integral part of the helmet.
