Abstract:
Provided is an underwater posture stabilization system which, by being attached to various underwater equipment such as undersea equipment and underwater vehicles having different shapes and positions of the center of gravity according to their purpose and the like, allows simply and reliably setting their posture in water (basic posture), is excellent in versatility, is not only excellent in posture stability since, when the posture inclines under the effect and the like of tidal currents and pulsating currents, a moment to restore the posture to its original posture naturally acts, but is also capable of easily changing the posture as needed, and also is capable of stably controlling the posture even in the presence of complicated tidal currents and pulsating currents, and is excellent in reliability, stability, and certainty of posture control. The underwater posture stabilization system includes a frame to be attached to an apparatus body of the underwater equipment, a pair of sliding portions arranged so as to be freely movable back and forth on both side portions of the frame, a support member freely movable up and down which is fixed at a lower end thereof to each sliding portion, and arranged upward or obliquely upward, and a floating body arranged at a tip of each support member.

Abstract:
A scuba tank caddy that includes a vertically-extending frame, a base assembly connected to the frame, and an axle assembly having an axle, a pair of spaced wheels mounted on the axle, and a pair of connecting arms pivotally interconnecting the axle to the base assembly. The frame has a plurality of slots formed in the frame at its lower end, and the axle assembly is adjustably connected to the frame via the slots such that the axle and wheels can be adjusted between several operational positions to accommodate different types of terrain. The axle and wheel can also be switched to a stowed position in which the wheels are positioned upwardly against the tank so that the caddy can remain on the tank during a dive.
Abstract:
A scuba tank caddy, having an optional gear drying rack and an optional portable shower, for improving the comfort and convenience of the scuba diver. Additional advantages include, but are not limited to, retractable wheels, telescoping shower head, tank-pressurizing freshwater shower, and corrosion-resistence.
Abstract:
The mobile scuba diving centre is an equipment designed to streamline the logistics associated to various ways of the scuba diving operation, by enhancing both safety and comfort, and preventing damages to the scuba equipment, while enabling to easily make available complete support bases for diving in remote locations, as well as eliminating or considerably reducing all manual assignments that are typically connected with the activity hereof.The mobile scuba diving centre includes a base structure that comprises such diverse elements like a shell (1), stowage drawers (3), clipping devices (4) or support boxes for the scuba tanks (15), the compressor hose lines to fill the scuba tanks, a rotary hanging rod to hang wetsuits and dry-suits and also an assembly line of hoses and sprays to wash the scuba gear inside the drawers (9) and another assembly line of hoses and sprays to wash wetsuits, scuba tanks and BCs (10). The dive centre can further include a ramp or access steps (13) and a protection awning (14).
Abstract:
A transportable support system for underwater dive equipment that is durable, lightweight, adjustable, and compact, allowing the diver to effectively and rapidly secure his fins, regulator assembly, mask, and various other items for storage and/or transport. The support system can be employed with a “hands free” design via the use of a shoulder strap, or secured in a dive bag or suitcase for airline travel.
Abstract:
A travel bag for organizing and compressing all the diving equipment generally taken by divers on diving vacations.
