" The primary device is mounted on the diver's main scooter, while the
redundant (backup) rig is mounted on the diver's back."
A new spin on the Klingon Cruiser?
"One of the unique features of the MK-5R system is the introduction
of the underwater pluggable system connectors (i.e., the breathing
hoses) which allow a diver to switch between the vehicle-mounted life
support system and the backup rebreather in less than 30 seconds at
100 m water depth."
I hope no one actually needs to do this.. Let's see, recognize
complete failure, let go of trigger, keep your cool, unplug old
rebreather, find plugs for new rebrether, hope plug came off easily,
hope plug goes on easily, hope you don't die.
Jeff, I'd say thanks for the laugh, but unfortunatly I think they're
serious.
