Subjective Evaluation of Scott Aviation Corp's Constant Flow Shallow Water Diving Unit.

Abstract

This evaluation was made to determine the suitability of a constant flow shallow water mask as a possible substitute for, or replacement of the U.S. Navy Standard shallow water mask. This constant flow shallow water diving mask was evaluated subjectively by pressure tank dives, and the comments are a composite of the subject's opinions. The results are discussed and lead to recommendations concerning modifications required prior to certification as recommended for naval service. The mechanical workmanship of the evaluated constant flow shallow water diving mask is quite good, the design is simple, the maintenance is easy and it has a greater field of vision than the present mask.
