Abstract
The Beckman Electrolung II mixed gas, closed circuit, underwater breathing apparatus was evaluated by the Navy Experimental diving Unit during the period 15 November to 21 December 1971. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the suitability of this equipment for use by Naval Inshore Warfare Forces. Test results indicate that the equipment does not meet these requirements and that no further testing is warranted or recommended.
