[citation needed] Rupture or supply pressure failure of a surface supply hose with simultaneous failure of the non-return valve. [35]
Most divers are sufficiently protected by their diving suits that clinical hypothermia is rare for scuba divers, [4] but it is considered a significant hazard for surface supplied saturation divers, largely due to core heat loss to the breathing gas at depths where the gas density causes high thermal capacity of the gas. Head loss to the ...
