The Dive Flag ¦ Handheld Emergency Location Pinpointer

One of the things we love most about the H.E.L.P. is the face that it is easy and straight forward to use. A lot of people don’t understand quite how easy it is to use until they see it in action. The average deployment of the H.E.L.P. is around 3 seconds (we have tested it [...]

We are delighted to let you all know that we have a stand at The Dive Show this weekend! The event is expected to attract over 14,000 visitors this weekend and looking around as we set up there is loads to see and do! We are on stand 242 and if you would like a [...]

We have always maintained that the H.E.L.P. was designed to help out divers with getting seen when they surface from a dive. However the flags do get used for a number of different reasons. One guy asked if he could buy one for his boat, he uses it to signal when he has his lobster [...]

Reading a story on the Irish Times website about an 18 year old hill walker who was rescued from a mountain side by a coast guard helicopter. Now this guy was lucky to be seen and is not the first hillwalker to go missing of late, the high profile disappearance of a British backpacker, Richard [...]

Yes we finally did it we managed to get our beloved camera man to get off the dry land and on the boat so we could see the Dive Flag in action! While we were shooting the below video there was a moment where we sent the two divers off under the waves so we [...]
