Right this is a bit of a long shot, but i know theres a few product designers on here..

any of you in Helmet Design?! Im at uni, and doing a major project on scuba diving helmet but desperatly need some ergonomic data for head dimensions! I've looked all over the place, all i can find is head depth and breadth, nothing more detailed than that..

would appreciate any help!

Cheers guys!

You should be able to access ScienceDirect for free through your Uni/College network?

Sanders & McCormick - Human Factors in Engineering and Design should have something in. Was the basis of my degree in Ergonomics!
