“…It was intuitively felt that more active divers would be in the former age interval, while less active divers would comprise the latter interval. This is supported by the findings of Berghage et al (12), who found that approximately 69% of the active Navy divers in their survey were 30 years of age or younger. Also, the use of age intervals greater than five years (e.g., ten) is commonly used in descriptive epidemiologic studies and is predicated upon the available sample size.…”

Pire analyzed with descriptive statistics. Eighteen indices were examined, and the analysis was presented in two parts for each index. First, the mean value, its standard deviation, and percentiles were computed for the entire cohort. Second, the cohort was divided into two age strata, 20-30 years old and 31-42 years old. Within each stratum, the mean value, its standard deviation, and the range were calculated. When added to other published findings on U.S. Navy divers,. these data have application as a reference source for personnel working in diving suit and equipment design, diving operations, human factors research, diving medicine, and epidemiology.

“…In 1972 to 1973, only 4% of the 113,007 operational air dives conducted required decompression, 156 and this fraction was less than 4.7% in 1990 to 1994 (Dr. E.T. Flynn, personal communication).…”

This paper explores the concept of an underwater robot manipulator mounted on an unmanned submersible for the purpose of doing some undersea tasks of interest to the U.S. Navy. The robot concept is compared with other methods of doing work underwater and its strengths and weaknesses are enumerated. Such a robot would be able to do only simple, well‐defined tasks, but it would probably be the most economical way of doing those jobs which are within its competence. The jobs which such a device might be able to do are listed and evaluated in terms of how easy or difficult they are for a robot to do. From this analysis some conclusions are drawn about what capabilities are needed in such a robot. It is concluded that speed of operation is not critical (In contrast to robots which are intended for industrial jobs), but that the ability to cope with unexpected conditions and to recover from mistakes is very important. Next, existing robot technology and past research***are discussed and evaluated in terms of the needs of an underwater naval robot. Gaps in the technology are identified, and, finally, me suggestions for research are given.
