DESCO Corporation manufactures equipment for the commercial diving industry. We also sell products which are complementary to our own. DESCO is a importing distributor for Hunter Dry Suits,  Composite Beat Engel DeepSea Lightweight Helmets, and Broco wet welding rods. DESCO also sells a line of jewelry, accessories, and apparel with a diving theme. We offer classic style helmet repair for all vintage helmets, regardless of manufacturer. Let our team of craftsmen restore your vintage helmet.

We are located in Milwaukee Wisconsin. You may not think of a inland city as a hub of diving activity but Milwaukee has a long tradition in hyperbaric and diving science. The history is covered in detail on our company history page. Milwaukee was known as the "Beer Capitol" but we also were known for being "The Nation's Machine Shop". Virtually all the metal components of our equipment are fabricated in Wisconsin. DESCO has long standing relationships with many of our local suppliers.

DESCO manufactures our own equipment in our Milwaukee shop. Our product list includes helmets, weight belts, shoes, fittings, classic helmet parts, accessories, and the classic U.S. Navy Divers Knife.
