    <SUBJECT>Breathing supply hoses.</SUBJECT>
    <P>(a) Each breathing supply hose must—</P>
    <P>(1) Have a maximum working pressure that is equal to or exceeds—</P>
    <P>(i) The maximum working pressure of the section of the breathing supply system in which used; and</P>
    <P>(ii) The pressure equivalent of the maximum depth of the dive relative to the supply source plus 100 psig;</P>
    <P>(2) Have a bursting pressure of four times its maximum working pressure;</P>
    <P>(3) Have connectors that—</P>
    <P>(i) Are made of corrosion-resistant material;</P>
    <P>(ii) Are resistant to accidental disengagement; and</P>
    <P>(iii) Have a maximum working pressure that is at least equal to the maximum working pressure of the hose to which they are attached; and</P>
    <P>(4) Resist kinking by—</P>
    <P>(i) Being made of kink-resistant materials; or</P>
    <P>(ii) Having exterior support.</P>
    <P>(b) Each umbilical must—</P>
    <P>(1) Meet the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section; and</P>
    <P>(2) Be marked from the diver or open bell end in 10-foot intervals to 100 feet and in 50-foot intervals thereafter.</P>
