A safety cap is provided to be worn on the head of a diver such as a scuba diver or snorkelor, for protection against contusions, abrasions, incisions, lacerations and the like. The safety cap comprises an exterior, unitary shell of part-spherical configuration made of flexible plastic, to provide a smooth outer surface. The flexible plastic is of sufficient strength to resist small impact loads. A continuous interior liner of open cell foam is secured within the exterior shell to act as padding and to provide a thermally protective layer for the diver's head. A pair of straps are provided, each one being secured to a side of the shell. Each strap is of a length and provided with securing means respectively for looping and securing about a proximal portion of a head strap of diver's face mask or goggles when worn by the diver. The cap is easy to wear and provides significantly improved protection for divers against minor, low impact head injuries.
