Diver Communications, Cameras and Recovery Equipment for Search and Rescue

C-Tecnics supplies diver communications, compact underwater cameras, surface video equipment and diver recovery products for search and rescue diving teams.

Equipment can be selected to support communication with the surface, live observation, recording and a planned diver recovery arrangement. Configuration depends on the diving method, existing equipment and operational procedures.

Communications for Divers and Surface Teams

Portable E-Phone and C-Phone systems provide diver-to-surface communications for suitable mask and cable configurations. AGA communications assemblies are available in single-ear and dual-ear versions.

Comms rope assemblies combine communication conductors within a rope construction for suitable diving arrangements. Select the system around the number of divers, communication mode, terminations and required length.

Compact Cameras and Underwater Lighting

Compact cameras can support live observation of the diver and working area, subject to water visibility and the chosen mounting arrangement. The CT3012 and CT3015 provide options for suitable helmet, mask or handheld configurations.

CT4006 and CT4018 LED lights provide compact illumination options. Camera size, mounting, power and video output should be checked against the complete equipment setup.

Surface Video Recording and Depth Monitoring

C-Vision systems provide options for live video monitoring, recording and image capture. Choose the surface equipment to match the camera output, required channels and whether integrated diver communications are needed.

C-Depth provides electronic diver depth monitoring for suitable diving operations. It can be considered alongside video and communications equipment when planning surface support.

Diver Recovery Harnesses and Supporting Equipment

The JOK recovery harness and jacket provide diver recovery options for appropriate commercial diving arrangements. The adjustable rescue lanyard is part of the associated recovery equipment range.

Select the harness, connection points and lifting or recovery arrangement together, in accordance with the equipment instructions and the team’s procedures.

Choosing Search and Rescue Diving Equipment

The right equipment depends on the operational task, deployment conditions and systems already in use.

Important considerations include:

  • Diving method, water conditions and expected visibility
  • Existing full-face mask or helmet and communications connections
  • Number of divers, cable length and communication mode
  • Camera mounting, lighting and surface video compatibility
  • Recording, image capture and depth monitoring requirements
  • Recovery connection points and the complete recovery arrangement
  • Inspection, maintenance and deployment procedures

C-Tecnics can review your requirements and advise on product selection, interfaces and a suitable supply configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you supply communications for AGA full-face masks?

C-Tecnics supplies CM-309 single-ear and CM-310 dual-ear communications assemblies for compatible AGA full-face masks. Select the surface radio, cable and terminations to match the assembly and operational setup.

Can the surface team view and record underwater camera footage?

The C-Vision range includes live video monitoring and recording systems for suitable underwater cameras. Camera output, channel count and communications requirements determine the correct configuration.

Will a camera provide clear images in poor visibility?

Image quality depends on water clarity, suspended particles, lighting, camera position and working distance. Lighting and camera selection can help, but they cannot guarantee visibility in turbid water.

Can you help select diver recovery equipment?

C-Tecnics can advise on its recovery harnesses, jackets and associated equipment. The complete arrangement must suit the diving operation, designated connection points, manufacturer instructions and the team’s recovery procedures.
