Lift Devices
Lift devices are essential tools
for all diving activities ranging from recreational drift and salvage diving to
signaling and emergency flotation. Yet another unique Halcyon feature includes
the flexible manner in which a variety of lift devices can be integrated into
the Halcyon MC system, emphasizing diver safety and comfort.
Halcyon's
Supra® closed circuit lift bag,
Surf Shuttle®,
and/or Diver Alert
Markers belong on every drift, shore or wreck dive.
These devices are essential as
diving tools or life support devices and can each be used separately, or
seamlessly integrated into the Halcyon MC system. All innovative Halcyon lift
devices make excellent signaling devices on the surface and can be utilized as
supplemental flotation devices at depth.
The
Diver's Life Raft®
and Surf
Shuttle® are essential safety devices for any dive where currents or
distance could create a life-threatening separation from the dive boat.
From Cozumel to the Great Barrier
Reef, divers are at great risk should they become separated from their dive
boat. Including an alternative lift device like the
Halcyon Diver's
Life Raft is true life insurance for the DIR ocean diver.
Halcyon lift devices are designed
for minimum storage size and maximum efficiency. Store your alternative lift
device in a MC
Storage Pak, in a
thigh pocket, or on a rear D-ring. Transparent to the diver while stored,
but easily deployed should the need arise.
- No more imprecise, inconvenient,
or risky inflation with a diver's regulator
- Inflatable at any depth, each
device can function as redundant buoyancy
- Inflate by disconnecting BC or
dry suit low pressure hose and inserting No-Lock® connector with fitting of
inflatable device, or add a second low pressure hose to your regulator's first
stage
- Orally inflatable in the event
that a diver's supply gas is depleted
Halcyon Diver's Alert Marker
 Halcyon's
series of Diver Alert Markers provide maximum visibility and redundant flotation
at the surface
Open water divers should always
carry a marker buoy they can send up in the event of separation from buddy,
primary group, or boat
Available in three sizes:
Small Alert Marker: 3.3'
long, 6 lbs. lift
Big Alert Marker: 4.5' long, 40 lbs. lift
Super Alert Marker: 6' long, 52 lbs. lift
Big and Super Alert Markers both come with Coast Guard approved SOLAS
reflective tape across the top for improved visibility.
- Halcyon Diver Alert Markers
feature closed-circuit (one-way valve) construction
- Inflate at the surface to
attract attention
- Inflate at depth to send up as a
surface marker
- All markers are small enough
when deflated to fit in a Halcyon thigh pocket or MC Storage Pak
Halcyon Surf Shuttle
The Surf Shuttle provides an
essential margin of safety for the diver facing a long wait at the surface prior
to boat pickup, or even a long swim to shore in warm water. The Surf Shuttle and
the Diver's Life Raft are essential gear for any diver who may be stranded on
the surface after a dive.
- Four feet long with 30 pound
lift capacity
- Perfect for divemasters or
instructors working with novice divers
- Redundant flotation at depth or
on the surface
- Can be sent up from a line spool
or reel as a position marker, and with a note in its message holder
- Bright orange color provides
maximum visibility for boat or airborne traffic
- Stores neatly in the MC Storage
Pak or thigh pocket
- Solid stainless steel hardware
Halcyon Diver's Life Raft
PERSONAL LIFEBOAT
Modeled after the Air Force and Navy Single Man Life Boat, the DLR provides
unprecedented safety at sea. The DLR can be integrated into the MC system,
hidden neatly behind the diver's back in the MC Storage Pak, or folded into an
optional external pouch. Spend the night, salvage rainwater, and broaden the
"visibility dot" on the sea literally ten-fold with this six-foot, 300+ pound
inflatable boat. The device can be inflated orally or with your BC hose.
- 300 lbs. lift capacity
- Functions as oth lift and signal
device
- Similar to Navy pilot life raft
on the surface
- Optional Storage Pouch for
jacket-style BC users
- Optimum for cold water and
serious offshore diving
- Now features an inflatable floor
for additional support
Supra Closed and Semi-Closed
Lift Devices
 Divers
are discovering that lift bags are useful for much more than just s
Whether used as a marker device
while at depth, supplemental surface flotation, or as a signaling device, lift
bags provide an added margin of safety and comfort. Halcyon lift bags fold so
small they can store in the Halcyon thigh pocket or Backplate Pak
 Halcyon
now includes a Semi-Closed Circuit 60lb. Lift Bag in their lift device product
line. Halcyon's SCC 60 was designed to allow for easy lift inflation for a wet
suit diver who wouldn't otherwise have a spare low-pressure inflation hose
handy. Designed to be filled by a diver's second stage regulator, the SCC 60
combines the ease of inflation of a traditional bell-bottomed lift bag with an
over-pressure release valve to dial in a precise amount of lift and to prevent
damage caused by over-inflation at depth.
SCC 60
- Semi-closed circuit design,
perfect for wet suit divers
- Over-presure valve allows for
lift modulation during salvage lift operations
- Baffled inflation chamber
prevents accidental dumping in rough conditions
CC 80 & 185
Of course, Halcyon's Closed Circuit 80 and 185lb. lift bags are still the
industry standard for technical applications where precise control over lift and
surface control are essential.
- Closed circuit design means the
object of a difficult search will reach the surface without the risk of
inadvertently dumping, losing buoyancy
- Safety orange color is easy to
spot by passing surface or air traffic
- Available in 80 lbs. and 185
lbs. lift capacities
- All Halcyon lift bags attach to
a low pressure inflator hose using a No-Lock connector and can be orally
inflated when necessary
Specifications: OPV Valve, sea
rescue orange, RF welded, single bag construction, No-Lock connector, stainless
steel attachment hardware and elastic cord retainer
