Augustus Siebe Dive

July 2000

What a pleasure to spend a day with Leon Lyons and Richard Durgee, and to top it off Mr. Lyons brought down his Augustus Siebe helmet, talk about icing on the cake !! Not only did I get a lesson on the history of different dive helmets, but I was able to dive a piece of history, a helmet over 150 years old. I look forward to many more dives with Leon & Richard, and thank them for sharing their  knowledge and experience.
