Evaluation of a Proposed Underwater Swimmer's Life Jacket.

Abstract

The requirements for a Scuba Life Preserver for use at depths to 100 ft. are studied along with the characteristics of the existing UDT Life Preserver and the Submarine Life Preserver. It is concluded that a Scuba Life Preserver having 15 pounds positive buoyancy at 100 ft. and 24 pounds buoyancy at the surface is feasible and specific recommendations are made for the construction of prototype units.
