This is a must have for any bail out/back up option. This device makes adding the extra bottle a cinch and has a quick release cam for easy deployment as a hand off bottle or for you bail out option.

This is an upgrade that everyone should be using. I have found an elastic loop that will secure the webbing. My recommendation is to don the unit and adjust the straps making sure the unit is not to snug while leaving about 4 inches of excess webbing on the front part (near tank). Disconnect one side and pull yourself out to the unit. Use the elastic loop to secure the excess webbing --just roll into a tight ball. Loosen the front connectors (where you had the extra 4 inches).

Now when you don the unit you can either have one side connected (put on like a shirt) and then make the final connection and adust using the front (tank side) adjuster. Thats it! Makes donning the Rapid even faster. Only one connection to make and then a simple adjustment. I will post a YouTube video at some point for clarification.

This tool is the best that I have found for breaking a car window and cutting the harness.

The most common way to fill a tank is at a dive store. However, when you are on a boat or a remote location that might not be an option. A cross fill whip is something that should be in every gear bag. Another option is a booster that works like the cross fill whip, however it uses the compressed air to drive an air pump that will pump your tank up to 3500 psi! Even if your "slave" tank only has 1000 psi in it. I don't have them available yet, but will in the near future. They are in the less than $2000 range. I am going to see if I can do a volume buy to bring the price down. What do you think?

[Rapid Diver]

We now have availability on MILSPEC cases. The case that I have selected for the Rapid Diver system in large enough to hold the entire Rapid Diver System plus your dive gear...That is: Complete Rapid Diver system (ready to dive), Full Face Mask, Helmet, Bail out bottle, Dry suit, tool pouch and gloves. The case dimensions are 23 x 18 x 13, which is comparable to the Pelican 1620. Two of these cases should fit into the bottom compartment of the Fire/Rescue truck. The case has wheels which makes moving the cases much easier. These cases are the top of the line cases and are more expensive than the Pelican cases, but we have favorable pricing if you are interested in the ultimate Rapid Diver case.



Below is a picture from Golden Gate Fire/Rescue. This is where they store their dive rescue packs. Those are Pelican 1600 cases which are about 5 inches thinner than the Pelican 1620 (or the case featured here). With two of these cases you only need at around 26 inches of width.

The SOG SEAL PUP and the Houdini window/harness cutter combo are the most popular accessories for the Rapid Diver Tactical/Responder. The SOG knife fits perfectly to the top the tank, using both tank straps for a secure fit. The Houdini PRO Tool fits perfectly in the pocket on top of the sheath. I have shock cord/molle connectors for all accessories (coming soon!)

RAPID SAR
FRONT ENTRY
DIVING DRYSUIT
PM me for details:


This is the Search and Rescue/Recovery dry suit with valves (DSRT(FE) that is now available for all Search and Rescue Professinals. I have been searching for a low cost, lightweight dry suit that can be easily stowed and used with the Rapid Diver system. I am working closely with OS Systems on this special dry suit.

Materials: Tough, Military Spec high tenacity 210 denier High Count nylon in Sea Rescue Orange for high visibility. High Count nylon contains more threads woven into each square inch of fabric. The resulting fabric has a very tightly packed weave for extraordinary abrasion and puncture resistance. All seams are made with quadruple interlocking stitching for strength and then fusion sealed inside for water tightness.

Waterproof Coating:
The Rapid SAR is made from the same high tenacity 210 denier High Count Nylon shell fabric as other OS SYSTEMS heavy duty drysuits, the HDPro. However, the polyurethane coatings on the RAPID SAR fabrics are lighter. This 210 HCLT (High Count Lightweight) fabric is extremely strong and durable, yet extraordinarily soft, comfortable and light weight.

The RAPID SAR drysuit includes SI TECH valves (Pro Swivel Inlet/Low Profile Automatic Exhaust), a 32" Low Pressure Hose, and a Zipease lubricating stick. The RAPID SAR drysuit features include a self donning front entry #8 brass tooth diving zipper, underarm and crotch gussets, Mauser stitching with double taping, a bungie cord waist, Cordura Dome Knee Pads, with full size fabric (not latex) socks.

Valves: SiTech inlet/automatic exhaust with gaskets installed are standard. Three year warranty.
Seals: Made in USA, Longlife Latex™ rubber neck and wrist seals are thicker and more durable (minimum thickness .026") yet thin and flexible enough to insure a comfortable fit.
Testing: Each suit is individually pressure tested underwater
Safety: Red and orange reflector tape down arms and around wrists

High Performance Boat Crew Dry Suit

The MSD585 Boat Crew Dry Suit offers enhanced protection while providing the comfort and functionality needed for marine operations. Made of lightweight waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX®, the MSD585 includes internal suspenders for a near custom fit.

Fleece lined hand warmers offer relief for cold, wet hands and the adjustable storm collar protects against rain or sea spray and can be folded out of the way when not in use. Elbows, knees and seat are reinforced with 500-Denier Cordura® and reflective tape on the arms increases visibility. A large sleeve pocket and two deep cargo pockets provide easy access to equipment and a back calf pocket fits a thermal hood. Easy-clip belt keepers stabilize duty belts and gear without the hassle of an over the shoulder harness.

The Boat Crew Dry Suit is available with either Mustang's Closed Comfort System (CCS™) adjustable neck seal (MSD585 AS) and a latex trim-to-fit neck seal (MSD585 LS).

The Side Imaging system is perfect for locating targets. Deploying a remotely operated vehicle is advantageous before putting a diver on the scene, especially if there are hazards. We will be adding the VideoRay ROV system to our training program.

Everyone should have a ResQme escape tool attached to their key chain. In an emergency, the window breaker/belt cutter tool attached to your key chain provides the most secure location. I recommend creating an education program which focus's on self-rescue to your local community. The ResQme is the perfect tool to showcase.








The ResQMe has quickly proven to be must-have rescue tools for police officers, SWAT teams, Paramedics and firefighters around the world. These essential safety products are specifically designed to assist officers while on duty and to make their job safer. The best alternatives to batons and knifes.

The Made in the USA ResQMe contains a spring loaded steel point that will break any tempered glass window, and a protected stainless steel blade for cutting through malfunctioning seatbelts to allow rescue or escape from vehicular entrapment. The break-apart design allows the ResQMe blade protector to be removed quickly for use in an emergency situation.

ResQMe is strategically attached to the belt or right on the key saver, ResQMe will always be there. Its compact size makes it convenient for easy access, ensuring that safety is always near when a situation that requires action arises.

When seconds count, reach for ResQMe! Unlike using a baton used by police officers or other lower quality tool to break a car window, the small, light, and dependable ResQMe safely and effortlessly does the job. When using other tools that can be large and heavy for similar purposes, there is always a risk of injury. ResQMe’s innovative design allows public safety personnel to effectively perform these tasks without the risk.

ResQMe is crafted with the highest quality materials, insuring total reliability for both the rescuer and the rescued.

The TAC-100 Underwater Navigation Board is the original combat swim board used by Special Forces around the world. Developed for the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams and Army SOF, the TAC-100 integrates the TAC100-2 Underwater Compass onto a rugged and lightweight high impact plastic with easy-to-grip handles. The TAC-100 offers different instrumentation options and comes with a padded carrying bag.

The TAC100-2 Underwater Compass was designed for combat swimmers by Ritchie & Sons and utilizes a black compass card with luminous markings to indicate heading. Internal lubber-lines keep the diver on course. A built-in adjustable chem-light holder on the console illuminates the compass for night ops.

Two options are offered for instrumentation packages. The TAC-DDGC is a rugged Digital Depth Gauge and Chronometer that tracks both divers depth and time in one compact package. The second option is the TAC/DG Analog Depth Gauge and the TAC-CHRON Dive Chronometer. Both options offer effective solutions for accurate navigation during mission critical situations.
