SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY OF THE BENDIX WATERCOM SYSTEM.

Abstract

The pilot study was focused on the evaluation of a commercial diver communication system and on the development of standardized and precise methods for such system evaluation. Seven divers, at 30 feet, read PB word lists over the Bendix Watercom system. Sixty-one listeners (12 divers and 49 college students) were used to evaluate system intelligibility. Results are discussed; also included is a description of information which will be needed before highly efficient underwater communicators can be developed. (Author)
