Info

Maintain "recovery position" of the injured diver. Right side down. The helmet side block assembly will help to maintain the neutral position of the diver's head. This position will expose the neck clamp assembly as well as facilitate secretion removal from the mouth of an unconscious diver. It is emphasized that this lateral / side positioning is much more stable than attempting removal with the helmet in the perpendicular position (diver on his/her back). 22
