Diving Equipment & Systems

Working underwater often pushes a person to the limits of their endurance. Therefore, it is not surprising that those working underwater need to undergo rigorous training, and only trust the best equipment. Equipment provided by Dräger.

In 1889, Heinrich Dräger took out a patent for the pressure reducer, laying the foundation of modern diving technology. In 1912, Bernhard and Heinrich Dräger developed a diving apparatus that did not need a supply of breathable air from the surface. In 1917, the first decompression apparatus was developed and 1954 saw the introduction of "Leutnant Lund", the first military oxygen-rebreather. Ever since these developments, Dräger Safety has been further developing diving technology. Today, Dräger Safety manufactures underwater equipment to meet all application needs. For example, the Dräger PSS Dive was developed for use by rescue divers and damage control divers. For divers with special tasks, the LAR rebreathers were developed featuring a compact, robust and antimagnetic design. Ultimately, the renowned quality of Dräger Safety products is the reason they have become indispensable, not just in diving operations, but also in the field of medicine, personnel protection and in the aviation industry throughout the whole world.
