The Megalodon underwater breathing apparatus (UBA) was used in completing 99 man-dives. The primary test objective was to determine whether the UBA could control oxygen sufficiently to satisfy performance specifications published by Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC-PCD).The UBA failed in 4.9% of the 61 dives analyzed. One failure was due to PO2 overshoot duration greater than the allowed three minutes; two were due to regulation of post- overshoot PO2 >1.45. The UBA s performance adequately met the predetermined reject rule of.
