Helmets & Masks
Interspiro supplies police forces, armed services and rescue services throughout the world with rapid response and compact diving equipment. The Interspiro or "AGA" full face mask is the most widely accepted mask of its type.
Divator MKII, MKIII, DP1 complete diving system
The INTERSPIRO diving philosophy is a system philosophy. All parts of the breathing circuit – from the full face mask all the way up to the last thread on the DP1 Surface Supply – are tightly integrated. The reason is simple and obvious, to obtain the highest possible safety level for professional divers. INTERSPIRO gear divers are not sport divers - they are the best-trained and most experienced underwater professionals.
Divex, part of the JFD group, are the world leaders in the supply of the most advanced diving equipment. JFD is headquartered in Scotland and has bases in Australia and South Africa. In 2013 the Shanghai Salvage Company completed a record dive to 313.5msw using their saturation diving system built by Divex Australia.
DIVEX AH5
The AH5 is the lightweight successor to the Divex free-flow AH3 and AH4 helmets. It is designed to be used either fitted with its own neck-seal, or locked directly into a dry suit. Because it combines many of the advantages of both the traditional hard-hat helmet and the modern diving mask, the AH5 is recommended for tasks as diverse as heavy construction, mobile inspection and protracted dives in cold and polluted waters. With an increased over-pressure option plus extra weights the helmet can be used in nuclear reactor fuel ponds. If the suit should leak then the increased over-pressure results in air escaping out of the suit and not water leaking inwards. Although the AH5 is light, it is extremely strong. The monocoque head shell is made from hand-laid impact resistant glass fibre.

Low Volume Oral Nasal (LVON)
Products Affected: All KMDSI Helmets and BandMasks® EXCEPT the KM Diamond.
Kirby Morgan® is pleased to announce releasing the new Low Volume Oral Nasal (LVON). This mask is lower in volume and offers the lowest CO2 levels and the maximum breathing performance possible. The LVON will replace the P/N 510-690 and 510-747 Oral Nasal Masks and become the new standard for all helmets and BandMasks®. The 510-690 and 510-747 Oral Nasal Masks will remain available through our authorized dealer network, www.kirbymorgan.com/dealers.
The LVON will soon be available in production units and kits, but it’s available as an individual spare now.
Bulletin #3 of 2020 Cleaning and Sanitizing Kirby Morgan Helmets, BandMasks and Full Face Masks
Kirby Morgan highly recommends cleaning and sanitizing our helmets, BandMasks® and full face masks after every day of diving and/or between individual divers using the same helmet, BandMask® or full face mask. Pay particular attention to the following parts; the oral nasal mask and valve, the outer edge of the mic element (the section that faces the diver’s face), nose block shaft and nose block pad, exhaust system, inside the regulator body, regulator diaphragm, demand regulator exhaust valve, water dump valve and neck dam. Use of antibacterial and chlorhexidine mouthwashes or sprays are ineffective solutions for proper disinfecting.
Bulletin #5 of 2022 Regulator Cover Guard
Products Affected: P/N 525-765, P/N 505-455 and any KMDSI helmet or BandMask® that is configured with a 455 Balanced Regulator
To provide additional protection to the 455 balanced regulator, an updated cover guard is now available for purchase. This will be the standard on all applicable units, once current stock is depleted.
Bulletin #9 of 2022 - Surface Supplied MOD-1
Kirby Morgan® is very pleased to announce the Surface Supplied MOD-1, the latest addition to our product line of M-48 Modular Full-Face Masks. The Surface Supplied MOD-1 is designed for the dive team requiring a lightweight and durable commercial diving mask. An advanced MOD-1 mask model with specialized passages that allow venting the upper eye cavity is paired with a very comfortable extra stretchy 7 mm attached hood and advanced Surface Supplied Pod. The new Pod is constructed of high-quality materials, including Titanium and specialty polymers to increase durability and eliminate corrosion. The threaded inserts in the jaw frame are used to securely fasten the pod to the mask, unlike other M-48 configurations that allow pods to be removed and replaced by hand without the use of tools. This pod is fixed in place but is easily removable for any required service or conversation to our SCUBA or Rebreather pod.
Kirby Morgan Diamond Closed Circuit Diving Helmet
The Kirby Morgan Diamond was released in February 2020. This is a fully closed circuit helmet, which can return divers’ exhaust gas directly to the surface. With the turn of a knob the helmet can instantly become open circuit or closed circuit. It has been tested in saturation diving for more than 1,500 hours.
