Abstract:Objective To validate and estimate the safety of KMB28B diving equipment in the simulated heliox 480 m saturation and-493 m excursion dives.Methods Total four healthy male divers participated in the simulated heliox 480 m saturation-493 m excursion dive with KMB28 diving equipment.The gas consumption per minute of four divers,to performed the simulated moderate intensitiy labour,was measured in the 255 m,486 m dry chamber and 493 m excursion dive trial.Results Total four divers felt breathing smooth,comfortbale,maximal gas consumption per minute was 21.77 L/min,under the calculated demand 29 L/min.Conclusion The KMB28B diving equipment can be used for 493 m excursion dive.
