Since 1985, the Company has been engaged in the designing,
manufacturing and international marketing of wireless underwater

manufactured by the Company are sold through over 30
distributors to military, police, anti-terrorist, marine science

The company is building upon its experience in the professional
diving community by entering the recreational market through the

Communication Systems, Underwater
Scubaphone 2000d Diver Unit
This unit has an omnidirectional nominal range of 1,200 metres.
Other divers and the surface crew within that range can receive
the ultrasonic signal and reconvert it to audio.
The 2000D Diver Unit produces distortion free voice communication
comparable to a local telephone call.
The 2000D Diver Unit is approved for use by N.A.T.O., the United
States Navy, the Canadian Armed Forces and the RCMP.
Scubaphone 2000s Surface Unit
This unit employs a transducer mounted on a cable to enable the
transducer to be lowered into the water from a dock or over the
side of a vessel.
The 2000S Surface Unit produces distortion free voice
communication comparable to a local telephone call over ranges up
to 3 kilometres.
The 2000S Surface Unit is approved for use by N.A.T.O., the
United States Navy, the Canadian Armed Forces, and the RCMP.
Scubaphone 1080 Vox (voice Activated) Diver Unit.
This unit is designed for mounting on divers' belts or airtanks.
This permits the 1080 Vox Diver Unit to remain submerged even
while the diver is floating at the surface with his head out of
the water.
The unit produces clear voice communication over ranges up to 3
kilometres.
Subphone
Subphone is a dual frequency communication system with greater
power enabling the system to communicate up to 10 kilometres
through water.
The Subphone is primarily installed in passenger-carrying tourist
submarines, and military and scientific underwater vessels. It
is also used for secure communication between surface vessels
which do not wish to betray their presence with the emission of
radio signals.
Typically, at least one of the frequencies is one of two
internationally recognized emergency frequencies to enable navy
ships to assist in locating a submersed vessel in distress.
Special Diver Unit
Special Diver Unit is a single or dual frequency, long range
diver communication system.
At lower frequencies this unit enables communication over ranges
up to 10 kilometres.
This unit is designed for long range special operations.
