MK29 Rebreather

Caption

A US Navy diver gives the okay sign following his dive using the Office of Naval Research Global TechSolutions-sponsored MK29 Mixed Gas Rebreather system, which was developed at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division. The new system will conserve helium, which is a valuable natural resource, accelerate the deployment of Navy divers, and increase safety.
