DESCO Company Policy

When a new DESCO Air Hat leaves the factory, it is as simple and safe as we can make it. It is designed to operate safely and efficiently for many years without expensive or time-consuming maintenance. Its simplicity, however, should not lull a diver into complacency. The Air Hat should receive good care and maintenance on a regular basis to operate at peak efficiency.

DESCO offers company servicing of the Air Hat and Standard helmets. We also offer factory training certification in Air Hat maintenance for operators to meet ADCI maintenance requirements in their shop. Contact us for details on factory maintenance or employee maintenance training.

DESCO believes this design is the best balance of utility, durability, and economy. DESCO Corporation cannot recommend, sanction, nor condone field modification of the Air Hat. Modifying the Air Hat could result in unforeseen serious and/or life-threatening consequences. Under no circumstances should you remove wholly or in part any component, modify components, or drill openings into the Air Hat. Never circumvent the operation of any component of the Air Hat. No devices should be added to the Air Hat which could distract the diver. Nothing should be placed inside the helmet which could become dislodged and create a hazardous situation. If you have special requirements DESCO will attempt to accommodate your needs, provided they do not compromise the safe operation of the Air Hat. If a special device installation is necessary, we will work with the customer to provide a safe installation.

As DESCO strives to make our diving equipment better, safer, and more user friendly we welcome comments and suggestions from diving companies, regulatory agencies, and especially divers, whose safety is our ultimate goal. Please feel free to contact us.
