Chapter 3 - Emergency Gas System (EGS)

Always be sure to check the pressure in your bail-out bottle

before you dive.

KMDSI strongly recommends the use of a submers

ible pressure gauge with every bail-out system. Not

only does this make it very easy to check your emer

gency gas pressure prior to diving, it also allows you,

in most cases, to periodically check the pressure in

your system while you dive. In this way, if you have

a leak, you will be able to take appropriate action.

WARNING

A standard Scuba submersible pres-

sure gauge must be connected to the

high pressure port on the first stage

so that the diver can monitor his

emergency supply.

WARNING

Some divers, keep the EGS gas cylin-

der valve shut during the dive. Their

rationale being; in the event of an

emergency, they will simply open the

EGS cylinder valve thus eliminating

any EGS air/gas unknowingly being

lost due to either a 1st stage failure or

EGS hose failure.

KMDSI strongly recommends never

diving with the EGS cylinder valve

shut. The reasoning behind this is

twofold. First, with the EGS cylinder

valve open, gas is immediately avail-

able in the event of topside gas inter-

ruption via the EGS valve on the side

block simply by opening it. Secondly,

and most importantly, if the EGS regu-

lator (1st stage) is not pressurized,

during descent it is possible that sea

water will leak through the first stage

intermediate circuit and regulator,

causing failure of the EGS regulator if

not frequently serviced and resulting

in possible injury or death.
