The correct maximum depth for the KM-37b without an Emergency Gas Supply (EGS) is 60 FSW (Feet of Sea Water). This limitation is crucial for safe operations as the KM-37b is specifically designed for rescue missions, and adhering to this depth ensures the safety and efficacy of the chamber under these conditions.
At depths beyond this limit, the risks associated with gas narcosis and oxygen toxicity increase significantly, which can threaten the safety of personnel involved in rescue operations. By having a clear understanding of the maximum permissible depth without EGS, operators can perform their tasks within safe parameters, reducing the likelihood of accidents or complications during missions.
This depth restriction emphasizes the importance of operational protocols that prioritize safety and effectiveness in undersea rescue situations. Maintaining these limits is vital to preventing emergencies that could arise from diving deeper without adequate gas supplies.
