MOMITS Dive Hat Collection

The Museum Of Man In The Sea has a nice hat collection. Lots of hats you're not likely to see anywhere else. Some of the info is a little sketchy; everything seen at the museum is related here. If you know one of the less well described hats, drop us an email relating what you know so it can be added to this page.

with the bottom cut out so you, too, can experience deep sea diving.

Complete with odor and small leak.
