This helmet is specifically design to be used with the Neptune Space, Raptor and Predator OCEAN REEF masks. It was created to provide impact resistance during adventurous activities where head protection may be needed, such as cave or arctic diving. The GSM G-POWER SL may be incorporated in to the helmet, which makes it a very unique, lightweight, compact, underwater communication and protective piece of equipment.
The helmet patented design provides an ultra snug and stable fit. The lightweight streamlined design and soft foam cushion provides total comfort and freedom of movement. The lycra rash-guard sleeve prevents neck rash for maximum comfort during long sessions. The 2mm thick shatter proof plastic shell combined with a molded soft foam lining provides an ultra lightweight layer of defense.
The Neptune H08 Helmet is made from the most revolutionary high impact resistant plastics, designed to withstand years of exposure from saltwater and direct sunlight. Anyone who becomes unconscious during a dive runs a very real risk of drowning. The H08 Helmet covers the temple area and ears to help reduce this risk. The H08 Helmet is secured by strong nylon webbing to stay on no matter what you put it through. The helmets soft foam lining is molded from a closed cell non-water absorbent foam and is uniquely shaped for rapid water drainage and maximum comfort. The helmet is also uniquely shaped to have a high cut shell for total peripheral vision and extends down over the temple and ears for extra cover. It is equipped with a protective carrying bag.

Comments about Ocean Reef Ocean Reef Neptune Helmet H08:
We bought twenty of these with the communications packages. The harness that is included is useless. If the helmet is not very tight, it will shift on your head, and break the seal of the mask. When you tighten up the mask, the mask keepers hit the helmet edge and loosen the mask at the top, causing a free flow. I have hundreds of full face mask dives. I can't get this thing to work. We have tried to have the Divemaster tighten the mask perfectly for the diver on shore; as soon as the diver gets in the water, it loosens up. We have tried every way we can think of. When you try to re-tighten the mask straps in the water, they get hung up in the keeper.
The Ocean Reef salesman did not have a helmet for us to try when we demo dove their masks, we bought these on faith. When we called about the problem and asked for some guidance, they told us that they would send the same salesman(who doesn't have the helmet) to come train us. Of course, we would have to pay the salesman without the helmet to come and provide us with training.
The comms are useless because of the freeflow problem. The divers were holding the mask to their face to keep the seal so they could talk. If you buy the mask and comms, you are stuck diving the helmet whenever you want comms because the headset is hard wired.
