What is the maximum operating depth for the MK-20 Surface Supplied Diving System?

The maximum operating depth for the MK-20 Surface Supplied Diving System is 130 feet (40 meters). This depth limit is established based on the design and operational capabilities of the system, ensuring safety and effectiveness for divers while they are engaged in underwater activities.

Diving systems like the MK-20 are engineered to manage the pressures associated with deeper dives, but exceeding the specified depth can lead to increased risks, such as decompression sickness or equipment failure. Understanding these limitations is crucial for divers and support personnel to maintain safety standards and ensure successful underwater operations. The MK-20 system is optimized for this depth, allowing divers to perform tasks with the required air supply and support equipment without compromising safety.
