Air Saturation Dive 4 - 8 February 1980, CEDD Test Number 1-80.

Abstract

The Diving Division in conjunction with the Biosciences Division will carry out an air saturation dive in the Diving Research Facility, DCIEM commencing 4 Feb 80 and concluding 8 Feb 80. This dive will necessitate a pre-dive work-up period from 14 Jan - 4 Feb 80 and a post-dive clean-up period from 8-15 Feb 80. The aim of this exercise is to conduct a 15.3 msw saturation dive with an excursion to 34 msw. The objectives of this dive are as follows: (a) to acquire operational experience in saturation diving; (b) to test and evaluate two diver life-support systems and three physiological monitoring systems under hyperbaric conditions; and (c) to collect physiological data to measure man's capability to perform underwater work.
