NAVSEA TS500-AU-SPN-010 (REVISION 1), U.S. NAVY GENERAL SPECIFICATION FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND REPAIR OF DIVING AND HYPERBARIC EQUIPMENT (23 AUG 2006). “Why can’t somebody clearly establish the requirements to design, build and repair U. S. Navy diving systems so that when it comes time to certify them we don’t have to fight over differing interpretations of requirements?” For longer than we’d like to think about, that’s a question that has been asked throughout the diving Navy. We’ve all asked it. So we decided to answer it. The express purpose of this technical publication – U.S. Navy General Specification for the Design, Construction, and Repair of Diving And Hyperbaric Equipment (aka “GENSPEC for DLSS”) – is to authoritatively establish technical requirements for design, construction and repair for afloat diving and hyperbaric systems for use in the U.S. Navy.
