Portable Surface Supplied Diving Systems Practice Test 2025 (MK-20/KM-37) – Your All-in-One Guide to Exam Success!

The MK20 Mod 0 second-stage demand regulator is specifically designed to be used in environments where the water quality is compromised, particularly in category 3 contaminated water. This type of water may contain highly polluted elements that could pose a significant risk to the diver, including harmful pathogens, toxic chemicals, or other dangerous substances.

Using this regulator in such conditions ensures that divers have a reliable and safe source of breathable air while providing extra protection against the contaminants that may be present in the water. It is engineered to accommodate the needs of divers operating under these hazardous conditions, making it a critical piece of equipment for safety and performance.

In contrast, the other options presented do not require the MK20 Mod 0 second-stage demand regulator because they either pertain to clearer waters or different diving conditions that do not necessitate the specialized protection this regulator offers.
