Lightweight, faster decompression and portable alternative to US Navy mixed gas diving
Dituri J, Parsley K, Whelan H. Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine. 2007;34(4):255.
What this study found
An abstract presented at the UHMS meeting, proposing that closed-circuit rebreather technology could give Navy divers lighter equipment, shorter decompression obligations, and greater operational range than the standard open-circuit rig. The proposal came from operational experience: the author had run both systems in the fleet.
