The Kirby Morgan® 97 (KM 97) is a landmark in commercial diving technology, offering the ultimate combination of rugged durability and superior performance. Launched as a new generation of stainless steel helmets, the KM 97 sets itself apart with the innovative 455 Balanced Regulator, a high-performance system that delivers unmatched breathing efficiency. This all-stainless steel regulator is not only incredibly robust but also cross-compatible with several other Kirby Morgan helmet and band mask models, streamlining equipment management for professional diving companies.
 
The helmet's shell is crafted from a single piece of 316 stainless steel, meticulously CNC machined for a perfect fit and finish. This construction provides exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and eliminates the need for refinishing if the surface is scratched or gouged. The KM 97 is designed for demanding commercial and saturation diving operations where reliability is non-negotiable. Its quick-change communications module, built-in emergency gas supply, and bubble-deflecting whisker wings are just a few of the features that make it a top-tier choice for professional divers worldwide.
