Special Forces in the water: outer-limits Experience Week

Every year, skilled deployment divers from military and police special units from all over the world disappear in the Austrian mountains. They are usually found - mostly in bad weather - at the Experience Week of the diving equipment supplier outer-limits, who presents and allows the latest gear and fresh technology to be tested. We at SPARTANAT show you what was new to see in 2017. This is the view inside the exhibition tent at the diving base: dry suits, diving equipment, and men who are allowed to play with their professional toys here. Where it rains a lot and a cold and wet lake lurks, outer-limits ensures that all dry suits for special units get everyone dry to and from the water. On the left is the outer-limits dry suit in Ripstop FR/fire retardant, which is also available as Anti-IR. On the right is the outer-limits Camo Chameleon, the in-house multicam, which adapts to the surroundings. Never alone: SEACOM/SEALAND is the wireless diver communication system established here, along with two SIEL CAIMANO MK4 Rebreathers. Along with the VHF unit, it is also possible to communicate with helicopters, ships, etc. Someone always stays completely dry: that's the one operating the SEACOM - the mobile surface station. Into the water, perfectly equipped with outer-limits: Diver with SUEX XK-NAVY, SIEL CAIMANO MK4 Rebreather, OL SCORPION Buoyancy Compensator, RIPSTOP ANTI IR Drysuit, and OL Amphibian Plate Carrier. Nothing is as important as breathing air: DE-OX breathing gas analysis devices for mobile and stationary measurement of breathing gases in terms of their concentration and possible impurities. Most of these devices are NATO certified. Diving experts preparing for a dive. Those on the line can't get lost. Saving lives in any situation: the 6157 OL- AMPHIBIAN MEDIC BACK PACK is a waterproof medic pack, equipped with supplies for emergency care for up to six people. Here during the landing after a dive. The trim weights contained therein are usually laid underwater before. "Heavy duty": the DEEP SEA DIVER HELMET is made of carbon, therefore much lighter than other models. It is produced in Switzerland by COMPOSITE Beat Engel. Ready for heavy duty tasks: Diver fully equipped with the DEEP SEA system, ready for descent.

Breacher tools are not only found on land. Here is the underwater breaching and spreading tool from LIBERVIT. It is a hydraulic system that operates completely independently from the surface. LIBERVIT is the only manufacturer worldwide to offer such a surface-independent system.
