COBRA Commercial Diving Rebreathers
COBRA (Compact Bailout Rebreathing Apparatus) is a unique bailout system combining significant safety advancements while remaining easy to operate and maintain. COBRA is the only commercial emergency rebreather system to have been granted CE Marking status to NORSOK U101 (Diving Respiratory Equipment) and EN14143 (Self Contained Rebreathing Apparatus), leading the way in terms of safety and functionality.
COBRA Buoyancy Jacket
The COBRA Buoyancy Jacket or Buoyancy Control Jacket (BCJ) adds another dimension to the use of the COBRA bailout rebreather. Engineered to a low profile, the COBRA BCJ gives the diver extra “lift” which can assist the diver in carrying tools to the work site as well as aiding a fellow diver in distress, who needs assistance in returning to the diving bell. The COBRA BCJ can also be deployed to permit a diver to work at mid-depth.
JFD COBRA Compact Bailout Rebreathing Apparatus
COBRA (Compact Bailout Rebreathing Apparatus) is a unique bailout system combining significant safety advancements while remaining easy to operate and maintain. COBRA is the only commercial emergency rebreather system to have been granted CE Marking status to NORSOK U101 (Diving Respiratory Equipment) and EN14143 (Self Contained Rebreathing Apparatus), leading the way in terms of safety and functionality. The system supplies an extended duration of fully independent breathing gas in an emergency, and is designed to be smaller than most bailout systems. At 120 metres depth, for example, COBRA will give the diver 45 minutes bailout time, in which to return to the safety of the bell. COBRA is also rated to 500 metres, at which depth COBRA is able to provide 14 minutes bailout time.
