Surface Supply Conversion.
Abstract
As a consequence of the removal of air hose supplied diving equipment from all 'non-diving' ships in the Navy and the substitution of scuba there arises a logistic as well as an emergency supply problem as regards high pressure air. In order to permit shallow dives such as hull inspections without depleting high pressure air bottles, a need is recognized for a means of adapting low pressure air supply to scuba demand regulators and breathing gear. A satisfactory adapter conversion rig was designed and tested.
