The Diving Helmet is an armor piece for the helmet slot. It has a 1/20 (5%) chance of being dropped by Sharks. When equipped, it causes the breath meter to deplete much slower and slows the rate at which drowning damage is taken.

Notes

Diving equipment

any of the following:

Like all diving equipment, the Diving Helmet prolongs the underwater breath to 2 minutes 20 seconds or, while holding the Breathing Reed, to 4 minutes 40 seconds. In addition, the rate at which health is lost while drowning is reduced to 1/6 or 1/12, respectively. While it is possible to equip multiple pieces of diving equipment, doing so does not cause them to stack.
Sharks spawned from the Shark Statue may drop the Diving Helmet.

Trivia

The Diving Helmet is the only piece of armor that can be used to craft something other than a piece of armor (as the Empty Buckets need to be filled in order to be used to craft Sinks).
