Items posted in this section are intended to inform only. The utilization of information posted in this section rests with each agency or organization. US Navy Testing Of The Kirby Morgan® KM-37 Deep Sea Diving Helmet Contaminated Water Diving System The Navy Experimental Diving Unit recently evaluated the KM-37 helmet with the Quad Exhaust system for contaminated water use. The KM-37 helmet mated with a Viking Dry Suite is intended to replace the current inventory of aging MK-21 helmets which have been in service for two decades. Testing was done using a harmless fluorescein dye in the test tank. The dye is commonly used in the medical industry and shows up brightly under a black light which will reveal even the slightest intrusion. Congratulations to the US Army. The U.S. Army is replacing their inventory of SL-17B helmets with the new SL-17K. They are also adding the EXO®-BR MS and the Manifold Block to their inventory. We at Kirby Morgan® Dive Systems look forward to continuing our ongoing service to the Army. Army personnel having technical questions can contact Dive Lab. The Operations/Maintenance Manuals for both the SL-17K and The EXO®-BR can be found for downloading here.
