Divex celebrates double century manufacturing milestone

This represents a momentous increase in production of more than two thousand percent since 2006.The company says that considerable increase in worldwide demand for newbuild Dive Support Vessels (DSVs) and for the refurbishment of existing ones has resulted in this significant increase in demand.

ECS equipment forms part of the life support equipment used within the saturation diving hyperbaric environment required by deep sea divers internationally. It includes a control master unit, a chamber environmental controller, a potable water system and an electrical water heater. They are used to control environmental situations such as the temperature and humidity, and to provide domestic water inside the saturation diving chambers. They also provide a constant supply of hot water to the diver’s suit whilst working at depths of up to 450m below sea level.

Danny Gray, Divex’s general manager for production said, ‘At this time of unprecedented demand, the important factor that sets Divex ahead of the competition is that we manufacture in-house most of the components and sub-systems used in the saturation systems. These include gas reclaim systems, environmental conditioning systems, diver heating systems, precision depth gauges, helium voice unscramblers, BIBS masks, underwater & hyperbaric lighting and hyperbaric fire extinguishers, as well as the modular and fixed series of saturation systems themselves.’
