PANAMA CITY, Fla. (Jan. 23, 2017) Navy Diver 1st Class Michael Baum, command diver at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU), laughs as he helps stow the mixed gas diving helmets in the Ocean Simulation Facility, where he will be one of six Sailors being compressed to a depth of 500 feet for the first saturation dive in 10 years. The saturation dive will accomplish two goals: the first is to evaluate, test, and certify the new HELICOM Matrix which is a system that returns speech patterns to normal after the breathing of helium to enable better communication after breathing mixed gasses, and the second will be a training scenario to maintain qualifications for saturation diving.
