The Mark V diving helmet was manufactured for the US Navy from 1916 until the mid 1980s. During that time there were only four manufactures of this model. The first two companies to make the Mark V were A. Schrader's Son and the A.J. Morse & Son Company. Initially there was a strong demand during and after World War 1 for the helmets by the military and commercial divers.
When World War 2 started, another huge wave of demand was created for the Mark V. Not able to meet the full demands of the US Government, 2 more helmet manufactures made the Mark V. Miller Dunn in Miami, FL and Diving Equipment & Salvage Company in Milwaukee, WI joined Morse Diving Equipment Company and Schrader who was then a division of Scovill. During WWII literally tens of thousands of Mark V's were produced! After the war the Mark V was a favorite of commercial divers and would continue to be used by the US Navy. Today the Mark V is still being made by DESCO & Morse. While not used as commonly for diving work, the Mark V is a favorite of ours and many of our customers as a piece of diving history. If you have a Mark V helmet please let us know, you might be surprised just how much we can pay!
