To obtain information on sleep, mood, and performance of divers and surface support personnel during deep dives in the open sea, 12 divers and 12 surface support personnel were monitored during a 14-day open-sea saturation dive using the U.S. Navy Deep Diving System, Mark 2, Mod O. Divers lived in the deck decompression chambers at 850 fsw equivalent and made 5 days of excursion wet dives to approximately 950 fsw via the Personnel Transfer Capsule. Electroencephalographic and self-report measures of sleep, and measures of mood, anxiety, and 4-choice reaction time performance were obtained during a predive base-line period and throughout the dive and decompression. Results suggested that, unless personnel are rotated, there are limitations to the practical duration of very deep open-sea saturation dives caused by the accumulation of sleep debt, fatigue, and loss of psychological vigor.
为获取潜水员和水面支持人员在公海深潜期间的睡眠、情绪及表现方面的信息，在一次为期14天的公海饱和潜水过程中，使用美国海军深潜系统Mark 2 Mod O对12名潜水员和12名水面支持人员进行了监测。潜水员居住在相当于850英尺海水深度的甲板减压舱内，并通过人员转运舱进行了5天的远足湿潜，深度约为950英尺海水深度。在潜水前基线期以及整个潜水和减压过程中，获取了脑电图和自我报告的睡眠测量数据，以及情绪、焦虑和四选一反应时间表现的测量数据。结果表明，除非人员轮换，否则由于睡眠债的积累、疲劳和心理活力的丧失，极深的公海饱和潜水的实际持续时间存在限制。
