On this page you will find general information about our Dutch Diving Helmet systems. The information is a summary of frequent asked questions.

What is the Underwater Walk?
Many tourists or other interested people want to join new activities during their holiday. Especially the coastal area draws a lot of tourists who want to experience the underwater world. That’s why a new revolutionary way of diving is developed: The underwater walk. During this activity participants simply put on the helmet, walk over the seabed and enjoy the underwater world.
Diving experience is not necessary because the activity takes place under direct supervision.

Why should I use this diving helmet?
Diving with the Dutch Diving Helmet is surprisingly easy and comfortable. You don’t have to spend time to learn all about diving education. After a short briefing from the instructor the diving helmet can be placed on the shoulders and off you go. With the Dutch Diving Helmet almost everybody can join the underwater walks. So whether you have diving experience or if it’s your first time under water, everybody can join!

Tell me more about this PADI specialty
Since a few years, similar helmets are used world wide. Everybody uses these helmets on their own way. As first company in the world, Dutch Diving Helmets wrote a manual with the aim to regulate this wild growth. PADI, the world market leader in diving education, is the first diving organisation that approved the Dutch Diving Helmets manual. The official name is Padi’s Underwater Walk. Because PADI is similar for safety and quality, participants can be sure it is safe and easy. Special about PADI’s Underwater Walk is that there is no entry level. So everybody can join, there is no diving experience necessary. Expectations are that more diving educators will approve the Dutch Diving Helmet in their learning system.

Do I need an insurance?
Every PADI instructor with teaching status has an insurance. And every approved specailty is automatically insured. So if you’re a PADI instructor, the answer is no. Always take care of the course outlines.

Is it lucrative to buy one or more helmets?
Sure! A return on investment example shows that if you use a multiple diving set, incomes are quit high.
On Mauritius for example, a company is using 7 diving helmets and they charge 30 euro’s a dive. They have about 150! participants each day!
Also a one-helmet system can be profitable. You can use these for diving clubs, swimming clubs and so on. Also teambuilding activities can be a lucrative market. The message is: Think big, expand your market.

Can’t I better rent equipment?
It might be a surprise, but no, you shouldn’t. There are companies who rent out equipment but first of all there is a huge entry payment, one never becomes the owner and there’s an additional charge for every dive! Contact us for more information.

Why a bronze diving helmet?
The answer is very simple; a metal helmet lasts longer than a plastic one and maintenance is very simple. Additional benefit is that the Dutch Diving Helmet will also keep its price because in time, the helmet will surely become a collector’s item.
