The MOD-1 features a unique design that includes two separate sealed cavities within a single FFM. This design comprises the Mask, which functions as an independently sealed dive mask, and the lower Breathing Pod, where the mouthpiece is located. The Breathing Pod incorporates various features such as a one-way valve for dewatering, a hook and catch release system for sealing and releasing the Pod to the Mask, and the capability to be used in emergencies for Pod recovery and gas sharing.
To enhance communication capabilities, the Mask can be equipped with either wireless or hardwired communications systems. When communicating with other divers underwater or topside, the diver can simply talk normally as the microphone is positioned nearby the mouth. This ensures clear communication without the need to speak through the mask. Additionally, when the Pod is detached from the mask at the surface, communication remains clear, eliminating the need to talk through the mask to a buddy or topside support crew.
The MOD-1's two-chamber design greatly simplifies switching gases underwater or bailing out to an off-board system, particularly for Rebreather use with the Hollis BOV Pod. The diver can easily detach the lower Breathing Pod and secure a secondary Open Circuit Pod or a second stage without a Pod attached. Importantly, during this exchange, the Mask does not flood, even when breathing off a second stage without a Pod. This significantly enhances safety and versatility compared to conventional one-piece designs, which typically result in a momentary loss of breathing gas and underwater visibility during a bailout.
Moreover, the MOD-1 offers the option to install custom-ground prescription lenses in the glass lenses, as opposed to plastic lenses. This is a crucial feature for underwater videographers and photographers who require perfect focus to capture that ideal shot.
In summary, the patented Kirby Morgan two-chamber design of the MOD-1 provides numerous configuration possibilities for both Open Circuit and Closed Circuit Rebreather systems. Its features, including the ability to easily switch gases underwater and its communication capabilities, make it a highly versatile and safe choice for divers. Additionally, the option for custom prescription lenses further enhances its appeal to underwater videographers and photographers.
