Diver Education Series: A Portable Diving System for Search and Rescue, Scientific, and Commercial Divers

摘要

Safe, efficient, and cost-effective diving operations require creative flexibility in the use of personnel and equipment. Reductions in funding, increased costs, limited availability of large vessels, and operations in remote areas with minimal logistical support have challenged some scientific, search and rescue, and commercial divers to re-evaluate the selection/training of personnel and their mode of diving. A versatile, compact, and portable diving system that enables a dive team to transport and select from components to support scuba, tethered scuba, and surface-supplied diving is described in this publication.
