This helmet belonged to a Navy diver who qualified in Standard dress in 1939, before the term 'Clearance divers'.  He used this gear up until he was 80 with the Historical Diving Society.  He was involved in the diving on Tirpitz it would seem as there are a couple of items from her in with other bits of his.
