Flatus Mixed-Gas Scuba.
Abstract
The flatus was tested by a series of dives on different mixtures injected at various rates. The evaluation produced the following conclusions: (1) The apparatus was found to conform to predicted performance for its basic class; consequently it can perform satisfactorily for any type of diving within depth and time limits for the mixture used; (2) It can meet interim UDU and EODU requirements; (3) It could become the safest mixed-gas apparatus available; (4) It should be made sturdier and then be evaluated for its maximum capabilities; (5) It should be given full-scale field for UDU and EODU use.
