JFD (UK)
Divex, part of the JFD group, are the world leaders in the supply of the most advanced diving equipment. JFD is headquartered in Scotland and has bases in Australia and South Africa. In 2013 the Shanghai Salvage Company completed a record dive to 313.5msw using their saturation diving system built by Divex Australia.
Air Control Systems
Air Control Panels
JFD can supply a wide range of air control panels: two diver, three diver, air and mixed gas. All comply with the Association of Diving Contractors Guidance Note ADC 5/95.
Analysers
The Divex G11-4 Hyperbaric Analyser measures partial pressure of oxygen and is designed for internal diving chamber, bell or other hyperbaric use. The Divex G21-2 monitors oxygen levels ranging from 0.00 to 19.99% and 00.0 to 100%. The Divex G22 Oxygen Analyser is a rack mounted instrument which provides continuous digital display of oxygen concentration in the gas sample presented to the surface of the sensor unit. The Divex G30 is extremely popular with commercial diving contractors worldwide as it is designed for monitoring carbon dioxide levels in diving decompression chambers. This rack mounted analyser provides a constant display of parts per million CO2 within 2% accuracy.
Back Pressure Regulator
The JFD Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) has been designed for diving chamber use as a BPR on built-in breathing systems (BIBS).
Carbon Fibre Swimmer Poles and Grapel Hooks
Available in two lengths 3m or 5m, this superior design eliminates the whipping effect of conventional poles permitting the diver greater control while establishing ladders from the water line during rough sea operations.
Chamber Conditioning Unit
The JFD Chamber Conditioning Units CCU-06 and CCU-07 have been designed for use in hyperbaric environments, both air and heliox, for temperature and humidity control.
Chamber environment controller
The Kinergetics Chamber Environment Controller CEC-3 is an upgraded version of the popular CEC-2.
Chamber/bell heater
The Kinergetics DH21 Heater is one of the most widely recognised hyperbaric environmental products in the diving industry, providing an efficient means of heating diving chambers or bells.
Chamber/Bell Scrubber
The Kinergetics DH21 Scrubber is one of the most widely recognised hyperbaric environmental products in the diving industry, providing an efficient means of removing Carbon Dioxide.
COBRA Commercial Diving Rebreathers
COBRA (Compact Bailout Rebreathing Apparatus) is a unique bailout system combining significant safety advancements while remaining easy to operate and maintain. COBRA is the only commercial emergency rebreather system to have been granted CE Marking status to NORSOK U101 (Diving Respiratory Equipment) and EN14143 (Self Contained Rebreathing Apparatus), leading the way in terms of safety and functionality.
COBRA Buoyancy Jacket
The COBRA Buoyancy Jacket or Buoyancy Control Jacket (BCJ) adds another dimension to the use of the COBRA bailout rebreather. Engineered to a low profile, the COBRA BCJ gives the diver extra “lift” which can assist the diver in carrying tools to the work site as well as aiding a fellow diver in distress, who needs assistance in returning to the diving bell. The COBRA BCJ can also be deployed to permit a diver to work at mid-depth.
JFD COBRA Compact Bailout Rebreathing Apparatus
COBRA (Compact Bailout Rebreathing Apparatus) is a unique bailout system combining significant safety advancements while remaining easy to operate and maintain. COBRA is the only commercial emergency rebreather system to have been granted CE Marking status to NORSOK U101 (Diving Respiratory Equipment) and EN14143 (Self Contained Rebreathing Apparatus), leading the way in terms of safety and functionality. The system supplies an extended duration of fully independent breathing gas in an emergency, and is designed to be smaller than most bailout systems. At 120 metres depth, for example, COBRA will give the diver 45 minutes bailout time, in which to return to the safety of the bell. COBRA is also rated to 500 metres, at which depth COBRA is able to provide 14 minutes bailout time.
Contaminated Water Diving System
The “Dirty Harry” Contaminated Water Diving System is designed to provide a safe and efficient surface supplied system which minimises the risk of contact between the diver and the water in which he is diving. A closed circuit breathing system exhausts the diver's gas to the atmosphere at the surface rather than to the water.
Digital pressure gauge
Digital pressure gauges are gaining increasing acceptance in the industy.
DIVEX AH5
The AH5 is the lightweight successor to the Divex free-flow AH3 and AH4 helmets. It is designed to be used either fitted with its own neck-seal, or locked directly into a dry suit. Because it combines many of the advantages of both the traditional hard-hat helmet and the modern diving mask, the AH5 is recommended for tasks as diverse as heavy construction, mobile inspection and protracted dives in cold and polluted waters. With an increased over-pressure option plus extra weights the helmet can be used in nuclear reactor fuel ponds. If the suit should leak then the increased over-pressure results in air escaping out of the suit and not water leaking inwards. Although the AH5 is light, it is extremely strong. The monocoque head shell is made from hand-laid impact resistant glass fibre.

Electric Water Heater
The Kinergetics Water Electric Power Heater WHE-3 offers inexpensive automatically controlled heated water for divers, bell and chamber.
Gaspure Chamber Recovery System
The Divex Gaspure Chamber Gas Recovery System purifies diving chamber or habitat gas and allows chamber gas recovery during operations rather than venting to atmosphere and losing the expensive helium.

Harness
JFD manufacture a range of diver harnesses which are tested and approved in accordance with PPE Directive (CE Certified).
Arvest 4
The Arvest harness was designed to enable one harness to be donned by the diver instead of the four separate items previously required: recovery harness, bail-out bottle harness, tool harness, and weight belt. This “waistcoat-style” harness distributes the load evenly around the body and will support a fully kitted diver securely and with comfort.

Heater and Chiller Skid
The HCS-1 provides a self-contained source of heated and chilled fluids for habitat environmental control. It is used in conjunction with the CEC-3 Chamber Environment Controller and an internal HCU Habitat Conditioning Unit
HeliCom Helium Unscramblers
The JFD HSU's are designed for helium speech communications and cover Dive Control, Saturation Control and the HRC.
Mine Lifting Bag
The Ordnance Automatic Recovery System (OARS) is a development of the operationally proven system that is in-service with various NATO Navies. The OARS version incorporates lightweight 300 Bar composite cylinders resulting in significant savings in both weight and size.
