USWR Extreme Dive Pouch

Keep your essential SCUBA dive gear and tools at hand - carry back a mask, light, shears, knives, tools, SMB, reel, slates, camera, defogger, CPR mask, etc. The Extreme was originally developed for Public Safety Divers. PS Divers need quick and easy access to a back-up mask when using a FFM along with quick easy access to cutting tools in case of entanglement hazards. Come to find out, recreational and technical divers love the pouch as well.

The Extreme Dive Pouch is designed for use on a harness type BCD with a 2" waist strap, but can be mounted in several ways. It can be mounted on 2" webbing or can be mounted via the two stainless steel side d-rings (for example: to the rear of a backplate via 2 bolt snaps). The stainless steel d-rings on each side can also be used for attaching tools for quick access. The pouch has two large pockets (zipper on top) and one front pocket for smaller items. Zippers can be opened and closed in either direction, or divers can pre-set the zippers to help identify which pocket they are opening (for example: one pocket opens from the left side / the other pocket set to open from the right side of the pouch). 

• Dimensions: 9" Wide x 6" High x 3.5" Deep
• Weight: 10 ounces
• Three (3) zippered storage compartments with interior pockets

Jackstay Search Kit

A Jackstay search is one of the most effective search methods used by trained Public Safety Divers.

• Two High Visibility Marker Buoys
• Two 15 lb Vinyl Coated Mushroom Weights
• Premium 3-strand Nylon Rope 40' of 5/16" / 8mm
• Heavy Duty Carrying Bag (Lifetime Warranty)

This is the kit you have been waiting for. Complete with everything you need (except proper training) to conduct an effective underwater search pattern. All equipment is top of the line!

The kit weighs at least 35 pounds or more depending on which weights you select. Not just any bag will carry this weight. We have selected a US made heavy duty bag with a lifetime warranty. Carrying handles, HD zipper, black. The sides of the bag are mesh to allow quick drying.

The rope is a premium 3 strand nylon (4-stage construction). 5/16" (8mm) white with a yellow tracer.

The standard down-weights are 15 pound mushroom weights. These weights work very well for most conditions involving still water with a muddy or soft bottom. You have the option to upgrade to a 20 pound or 30 pound river anchor. The river anchors are recommended for hard or sanding bottoms and moving / swift water (please do not attempt diving in moving water without proper training and certification).

The standard high visibility marker is a high quality 6" polyform buoy. You have the option to upgrade to a high visibility Heavy Duty 9" buoy. The HD buoys are recommended if you are opting for the 30 pound weights (due to the higher lift capacity) or if operating in rough water (since they are larger they are easier to spot from a distance).

Shark PSD Pony System

Hands down one of the best pony systems on the market for public safety dive teams who want a securely fastened back up air system that is easily removed underwater (by the primary diver or backup diver) in an emergency situation.

The PSD Pony System is held to the main diving tank with an adjustable cam-over buckle and strap that will fit any size tank. It’s a one-piece design and the whole system can be moved from one diver to the next in seconds. (Some systems are two-piece and require you to buy one side of the mount for every tank you own). The pony bottle drops into the bracket and is held in place by a lanyard which is easily located even in no visibility water.

• Stainless Steel
• Laser Cut and Tig Welded
• Powder Coated Black

Ring for 13-19 Quick Draw Pony Bracket

A solid extruded and machined aluminum ring for the 13 and 19 cubic foot pony and staging bottles. Machined to our exacting standards then microfinished and plated.

New ring has a round slot machined into the receiver part of the ring that will accomodate up to 1/2" Nylon line for staging. The bottle can then be hung from the BCD web rings as a staging bottle when not attached to the tank. Meets the new one cut rule for penetration dives. A great safety feature.

Comes with stainless steel fasteners.

Fits both our new Heavy duty reciever bracket and standard bracket.

Mounts securely to your tank via your BCD tank strap or an additional tank band. Typically a BCD strap will work just fine, unless the strap does not line up where you want to mount your pony bottle. The pony bottle should be mounted in a way that it is streamlined and does not effect your trim while diving.

U.S. Water Rescue Dive Team uses the Quick Draw Pony Brackets as their primary mounting systems when using SCUBA. They mount one receiver bracket on each BC, then have multiple pony bottles set up ready to go with the Pony Bracket Ring. This system allow quick switching of bottles without having to take time to switch brackets. USWRDT chooses to use the Quick Draw System because it is a solid mount, some pony systems slide all over the place and move all about. The Quick Draw System also allows easy detachment underwater where as a Backup Diver could give the pony bottle to a diver in need and leave if he needed to retrieve more equipment or air (for whatever reason or emergency). Many systems on the market are hard to release underwater with thick gloves, no visibility, and cold numb hands.

JW Fishers Pulse 8X Metal Detector

With a 200 foot depth rated housing and a 6 foot maximum detection range, the Pulse 8X is Fishers top of the line detector. It's heavy duty construction and high sensitivity make the Pulse 8X the choice of professionals everywhere. This commercial-grade metal detector is used by treasure hunters, commercial diving companies, law enforcement agencies, and military units worldwide.

The claim-to-fame of this pulse induction detector is it's ability to ignore minerals in the environment while maintaining high sensitivity to all metal targets. It is not affected by highly mineralized salt water, coral, rocks with a high iron content, or magnetic (black) sand; all of which drive conventional metal detectors crazy. The Pulse 8X detects all metals from coins and jewelry, to anchors and cannons; and does it on land, or in fresh or salt water. The diver is alerted to presence of a metal target by both visual readout (shown on the meter) and an audio output (heard in the underwater earphone). The detection range for a target is unaffected by the medium between the detector's coil and the metal object. Performance does not vary whether detecting through air, water, silt, sand, or solid coral.

The Pulse 8X comes with all the accessories needed to use the detector on land or dive to depths of over 200 feet. The standard package includes a corrosion proof PVC handle for underwater use, an anodized aluminum handle for land use, underwater and land headphones. The package also includes AC and DC battery chargers, a hip-mount kit for the electronics housing, rugged Cordura carry bag, spare parts kit, and JW Fishers Search Team hat.

Powered by an internal 9 volt rechargeable battery pack, the detector will easily run all day on a full charge. Recharge the battery overnight, and it's ready for another full day of hunting.

A complete line of interchangeable coils are available which gives this detector tremendous versatility. Two of the coils can be deployed from a boat; the operator can be topside with the electronics unit, and have a coil on the bottom searching for metal. See below for additional options.

The Pulse 8X has double the power and detection range of the Pulse 6X.

Key Features of the Pulse 8X:

• Commercial Grade Construction
• Full Meter Readout
• Audio Jack With Detachable Earphones
• Rechargeable Batteries
• Optional Interchangeable Coils
• The variety of different coil sizes available allow this detector to be used on land, underwater, or deployed from a boat.
• The Pulse 8X is backed by Fishers exclusive, unconditional TWO YEAR warranty.

Gas Switching Block

Excellent for use in Public Safety Diving when using a full face mask and a true secondary air source. Many PS Divers will wear a FFM and have pony bottle with a second stage regulator as a back-up in case something happened to the primary air source. The problem with this scenario is that the diver would have to remove his/her FFM thereby exposing his face to contaminated water, cold water, or eliminating the ability to use the in water communications. By using the Gas Switch Block the diver can simply turn the knob and switch to an alternate air source without have to remove the full face mask.

Description:
Right Hand Gas Switch Block.
2ea 9/16"-18(adapters) Male Inlets.
1ea 3/8"-24 Female outlet.

•Solid brass construction for maximum durability.

•Oxygen Compatible Materials and O-Rings.

•Inlet adapters can be removed to expose 3/8"-24 female ports. Allowing for flexibility of hose attachments.

•Quick Disconnects attach directly to the inlet port alleviating the need for
more adapters.

The OmniSwivel Gas Switch Block allows a diver to change between two separate air tanks
there is no accidental switching during the dive. The knob pointing to the outlet signifies that the air source closest to the outlet is in use.

The knob pointing down indicates the GSB is in the shut-off position. In case of a second stage failure, a
diver can turn the flow off to mask and switch to an alternative regulator. This shut-off position
also prevents a cross blending of gases during a switch over.

The knob pointing away from the outlet indicates the GSB is using the secondary air source.

Pony Bottle Gauge

Ultra compact, submersible pressure gauge that threads directly into any standard first stage high pressure port.

• 0 to 5000 psi
• Threads into first stage high pressure port
• Built-in over pressure relief valve (OPV)
• Ideal for backup air supplies and deco bottles
• Large numbers and colored indicators for easy monitoring

EDH1 (Extreme Dive Harness) the Ulitimate Public Safety Diving Harness

The EDH1 (Extreme Dive Harness) is the ultimate Extreme Duty Diving Harness designed specifically for the rigors of Public Safety Diving. Public Safety Divers will appreciate the simplicity and ease of use combine with extreme durability of all components. It can be donned, adjusted, and buckled, without the assistance of another person; even with cold hands and thick gloves.

The EDH1 dive harness is made in the U.S. with only the best materials: high strength webbing with bright colors for visibility, stainless steel powder-coated hardware for strength and durability, a heavy duty front D-ring for tethered attachment, a medium duty shoulder D-ring for attachment of accessories (can be ordered without), and an aluminum alloy quick release safety buckle that cannot be released under tension. The EDH1 can be adjusted to fit multiple users (one size fits most).

Another amazing benefit of the EDH1 Extreme Dive Harness is the ability for the user to not only adjust fit, but adjust “where” the harness fits on their body and “where” the pull points will be felt on the body. We give a recommendation of where it works best for us, but we understand everyone’s body is different, and there are different gear configurations out there. The perfect placement for us, may not work for you due to the location of your drysuit inflator, BCD, etc.

 

Features

The front of the Extreme Dive Harness has two adjustable slider plates, which allows the user to adjust the placement of the shoulder straps on the chest strap. For example: on a small person the two shoulder straps could be set to be 3.75 inches apart (where connected to the chest strap). On a larger person they can go as far apart as the user wants.

The rear cross-plate (where the webbing crosses) should be in a comfortable position a couple inches below the base of the neck. If only the front shoulder straps were adjustable, it would change the placement of the cross-plate. Therefore, the cross-plate on our dive harness is also adjustable. When the cross-plate is adjusted up or down; the distance between the shoulder straps (where they connect to the chest strap on the back) and the angle would also have to change for a perfect fit. This is easily done with 2 rear slider plates. As in the front, the rear sliders allow you to adjust the space between the shoulder straps (where they connect to the back of the chest strap). On a very small person, they can be set ½ inch apart, or as wide as you want to go.

Webbing:
Our polyester webbing combines many of the benefits of both polypro and nylon without some of the negatives. It has a 6,000 lb breaking strength, low water absorption, rot and mildew resistance, and has 5 times the abrasion resistance of polypro with a softer feel. Custom colors available.

Buckle:
Patented AustriAlpin COBRA™ quick releases are, without equal, the safest, most finely crafted, and strongest load bearing buckles available anywhere. They are also the only stab-lock style fastener in the safety products market that will not open while under load. That makes them the best choice (we believe, the only choice) for ensuring the highest degree of safety for yourself or your customer. COBRAs are CNC machined, assembled, inspected, and packed (re: from alpha to omega) in our ISO quality assurance accredited facility. All COBRA products are tested and certified by highly respected independent /3rd party test houses and exceed Mil Spec guidelines for dust / sand / salt water as well as all applicable CE, EN, CSA, ANSI, and NFPA standards for fall-protection and personal safety. Our superior designs and commitment to quality guarantees the highest degree of reliability and assurances for safety and strength. Not to mention, they look awesome too! All COBRAs are machined from the highest grade 7075 aluminum alloy and feature solid brass and stainless steel components.

Plates:
All plates are stainless steel, hand finished, and powder-coated. Plates can be ordered with plain satin finish (chrome look) instead of powder-coating.

D-Rings:
Heavy duty all Stainless Steel D-rings made in the USA. D-rings come standard powder-coated black, but can be ordered with standard finish (chrome look).

ADJUSTING THE EDH1 DIVE HARNESS:
The EDH1 can be adjusted quickly in the field for use between divers. However, we recommend each diver have their own harness which allows for a perfect custom fit each time the diver uses the harness without having to make adjustments.

 

1. You can fit the harness by yourself, but it is easier if someone helps you out the first time.

2. Loosen the shoulder straps by feeding the bottom of the straps through the front plates.

3. Put the harness on.

4. Buckle the chest strap. Tighten the shoulder straps by pulling the slack through the front
plates. Position the straps so that the top of the chest strap is just below the sternum.

5. Have your helper check the positioning of the rear cross-plate and the rear placement of the
chest strap. The cross plate should be in a comfortable position, a couple inches below the
base of the neck. If the rear of the chest strap is sagging or being pulled upwards, adjust the
cross-plate, then re-adjust the front straps. Keep adjusting the cross-plate and the front
shoulder straps until the chest strip goes all the way around your body evenly (not higher
or lower in the back). If the two rear plates too close together or too far apart, the rear straps
directly below the cross-plate will not be straight. Simply adjust the plates to achieve the
proper angles on the rear straps.

6. Lastly, adjust the placement of the buckle and attachment D-ring. We prefer to have the
buckle in the center of the chest which places the attachment D-ring slightly off center to the
left. However the harness can be adjusted so you can place the buckle and D-ring wherever
you prefer. Adjust the placement of the buckle and D-ring by adjusting the placement of
the front and rear plates on the chest strap (remember to maintain the distance on the rear
plates).

7. Once you have your final fit, you will only need to adjust one shoulder strap when putting the
harness on or taking it off. Preparation for use: simply pull the tail (bottom of the chest strap)
