Table 2-3 provides the procedural steps that must be followed when donning the helmet. The experienced
diver may want his (her) tender to assist in the donning procedures. However, until the procedures are well
known, it is recommended that the diver dress himself (herself). This will help in the event of unforeseen
emergencies.
