WARNING
Never use aerosol-propelled sprays
near the face port of any Kirby Mor-
gan diving helmet. The propellant
used in these aerosols can invisibly
damage the face port and cause it
to shatter on impact from any strong
blow. If the face port fails underwater,
injury or death may result.

mance and for the comfort and safety of the diver.
