Halcyon DIR Dive Systems 1 Wreck of the Sapona, Bimini/Dickie Walls Halcyon DIR Dive Systems “Doing It Right” diving is a philosophical approach to scuba diving, holistic in conception, which elaborates the essential elements of sound diving practice. DIR promotes rational choices with respect to dive teams, dive preparation, and equipment configuration as a means toward greater safety and more fun. Halcyon has been at the forefront of DIR since its inception; as internationally-active explorers, our staff develops, builds, and relies on the very same equipment to keep us safe in some of the world’s most inhospitable locations. From deep wreck and overhead exploration to recreational reef dives, DIR and Halcyon are revolutionizing diving while striving to make it safer and more enjoyable. Doing It Right is in Halcyon’s DNA 2 3 Cover: California kelp/Jeff Hannigan • Fiji starfish/Sonya Tittle Halcyon’s manufacturing center, High Springs, Florida Halcyon is truly a “ground up” manufacturing company specializing in a core group of unique products designed to make an activity that we live for – diving – safer and more exciting. From an original idea to the design, prototype creation, testing, tooling, and full production, a Halcyon diver is rarely more than an arm's reach away at any step of the production process. Halcyon believes that every detail makes a difference in the quality of your work and play. We also believe that the faith you place in our ability demands our respect and sincerest effort, as we work diligently to honor your support. Diving the English Channel with Underwater Explorers/Jarrod Jablonski 2 3 Reduced Drag + Proper Balance = Better Diving! Bulky BCs draped with padding and fitted with a one-size-fits- all air cell may seem good in a showroom, but in the water they produce unnecessary drag, requiring exponentially more effort. Halcyon's Multifunction Compensator™ gives you the advantage to get the most out of every dive. From your first check-out dive to your mastery of Trimix diving, Halcyon’s MC System™ can be fine-tuned to fit any diver and any conceivable dive. No other system in the world provides better balance or less drag. Multifunction Eclipse™ & Pioneer™ Single Cylinder Systems Explorer™ Compensator Double Cylinder Systems Lift & Surface Flotation Systems Weight & Trim Discovery Passage, Campbell River BC/Sonya Tittle 4 5 Diving the Halcyon Eclipse Wing in Bimini/Dickie Walls Merely doubling the area of one’s BC results in a force of resistance that is four times as great and requires nearly 16 times more energy to move through the water. This factor means that small improvements in your equipment's profile can massively reduce the energy you expend, ultimately resulting in less effort and more fun. Halcyon’s range of carefully designed BCs can each be mated to our infinitely adjustable Secure Harness System, providing divers with streamlined buoyancy across a range of single and double tank diving environments. A wide array of weighting options complement the Halcyon diver’s ability to tune their gear’s configuration. Choose from a stainless or aluminum backplate and add trim weights, ACB weight pockets, or V-weight to perfectly balance your diving configuration. Florida/Anthony Rue • Wave Action Scuba, Oman/Olly Agbebi • Key Largo, FL/David Rhea • Seattle marine life/Sonya Tittle 4 5 Diving the Halcyon Eclipse Wing in Bimini/Dickie Walls Eclipse & Pioneer Buoyancy Compensators Halcyon’s reputation is built on its dedication to innovation and quality. Divers from around the world turn to us for their gear because of a simple formula that we’ve always followed: Dive, design, prototype, dive, refine, dive, build, dive. Repeat as necessary. Our latest creation? The Halcyon Eclipse wing. Think of it as a Pioneer wing gone to the gym. Halcyon builds the Eclipse’s outer shell from 1680-denier ballistic nylon. We then add an inner bladder constructed from the same puncture-resistant 400- denier Nylon inner-bladder material used in the Explorer. In other words, the Eclipse is a low profile, exploration-grade wing that leaves all other single tank designs in its shadow. Streamlined. Ruggedized. Another example of Halcyon taking the game to the next level. Halcyon’s original Pioneer shook up recreational diving by promoting the benefits of a streamlined single-tank, circular- bladder wing. This circular design simplifies removal of gas from the rear OPV and creates greater in-water stability. Pioneer series wings utilize a welded shell design. The Eclipse wings share the Pioneer’s long, narrow, wing profile to support the diver’s tank along his or her entire length, preventing unnecessary drag and minimizing effort. Florida/Anthony Rue • Bimini/Dickie Walls 6 7 A choice of lift capacities helps to maximize comfort and streamlining while accounting for various buoyancy requirements that result from differences in tank size, exposure protection, or equipment requirements. Eclipse wings require a single tank adapter to mount with your Secure Harness backplate system. Pioneer wings continue to utilize Halcyon’s adapter-free design and only require a set of Halcyon cam straps for mounting. Eclipse wings are available in 30 and 40 lbs lift capacities. Pioneer wings are available in 27, 36, and 45 lbs lift capacities. Explorer Buoyancy Compensators The Explorer double tank wings are available in 40 lbs, 55 lbs, and 70 lbs lift capacities to accommodate a wide range of tank sizes, exposure protection, and equipment requirements. •1680-denier ballistic nylon outer shell for increased abrasion resistance •Heavy-duty zipper with a three-inch wide barrier to prevent zipper chafe on the inner bladder •“Trapdoor” drainage system allows water to drain rapidly from the outer cover to reduce excess weight and diver effort reboarding the dive boat •Strain relief on corrugated hose and precision location of elbow connection reduce stress on this vital area •400 denier nylon bladder maximizes durability with puncture resistance and greater flexibility The 40 lbs Explorer wing provides a minimalist approach to buoyancy where double aluminum 80s and a wetsuit are the rig of choice. The widely popular 55 lbs Explorer wing is ideally suited for situations requiring additional lift, such as when diving with heavy double steel tanks. The 70 lbs Explorer wing is designed specifically for heavier steel tanks and multiple stages where divers are unable to attain proper lift from the Explorer 55 lbs wing. Halcyon’s Eclipse and Explorer wings carry CE type approved for sale in all of the European Community. All Halcyon wings now come with our newly designed precision-flow inflator. The internal components and buttons are 316 stainless steel. Halcyon’s inflator provides a controlled low-volume air flow to allow the diver to fine tune their buoyancy and resist freezeing in extremely cold conditions. The Halcyon inflator is another Halcyon innovation that will only be found on Eclipse, Pioneer, and Explorer wings.

  • Customer Needs the Objective of This Project Is to Develop a Means
    Customer Needs The objective of this project is to develop a means to assist paraplegic divers. To develop a means for assisting paraplegic divers, two paraplegic divers and two dive instructors were interviewed to get a better understanding of the problem’s paraplegic diver’s face. During the interview process, it was determined that there are a variety of different issues that paraplegic divers encounter. The problems that the paraplegic divers encounter often depend on the divers’ available movements. The diver’s available movements are determined by what muscles the diver still has control over. The interviews from the paraplegic divers and dive instructors are summarized below in Table 1.0.
