            Abstract : 
The original Deep Quest life support system is described. A need to increase the authorized diving duration led to development of an improved system utilizing potassium superoxide (KO2). KO2system developments at Lockheed are discussed and the design characteristics, benefits and operational performance of the improved system for Deep Quest are described.
