Abstract

To analyze the experience of medical backup provision to deep-water diving operations using outfits featuring open breathing with alternating artificial gas mixtures, seven divers of various ages and professional levels were examined. Their resistance to high pressure and their basal physiological conditions were assessed. Four of them were rated as highly resistant to high pressure, and three, as moderately resistant. Changes in the cardiovascular and central nervous systems in the course of diving were tested. During the tests, the divers that were rated as highly resistant to pressure managed to establish the record of under-ice diving depth: 102 meters.
