The JOK Jacket is a complete, waistcoat-style assembly combining three essential components required when dressing a commercial diver into a single, integrated system:
- Diver recovery harness
- Bail-out cylinder holder
- Weight system
The system incorporates the CE-certified JOK Diver Recovery Harness, load tested to 9,000 N at each lifting point, providing a 6:1 safety factor.
Key Features

- Adjustable shoulder, chest, leg and waist fittings
- Stainless steel slide bar adjustment system
- One-pull quick-release weight system

Design and Adjustability
The jacket has been developed with input from commercial divers, allowing adjustment at the shoulders via stainless steel slide bars with large, easy-adjust webbing tabs. Additional adjustment is provided through leg and chest straps, along with twin pin-buckle waist belts, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit in operational environments.
Weight System
A heavy-duty, one-pull quick-release mechanism allows immediate release of all weights. Six individual pockets, each holding up to 4 kg of lead, enable weight adjustment at surface level without activating the release system.
