Air compressor for hull cleaning
Dave,
Please excuse my condescending previous reply to this post. I didn't know your background. MMC "Dave" wrote in message ...

Remember, we're talking about the time required to reduce the percentage of oxygen in the fixed amount of air contained in the suit and hat combined to below a level that will sustain life. The rig was designed so the if the air hose where cut completely you could send another diver down with a new hose and hook it up to the hat. I'd be surprised if that could be done in under 6 minutes except in the most exceptional circumstances. |
