Abstract:

The paper presents the baseline results and analysis of the SINDBAD Systematic Investigation of Diver Behavior At Depth data gathered at the U.S. Navy Experimental Diving Unit. Fourteen of the tests in the SINDBAD battery were administered in a dry hyperbaric chamber at one atmosphere absolute pressure to twenty-seven U.S. Navy first class divers. Eight additional tests from the same battery were taken by sixteen of the same divers under similar conditions. Factor analysis of the results revealed that each test was measuring a unique ability. The normative data were gathered on each test for use in comparative studies in both wet and dry hyperbaric environments.
