    1.1.Thoughts to the application

     

    We congratulate you on the purchase of the DiveGlider â with standard equipment.

    You have acquired an innovative, pollution-free and comfortable diving mobile for leisure and professional application, which has been granted a first price on one of the international fairs for underwater mobiles in autumn 1998 for its innovative features and quality.

     

    You can convince yourself of the simple and safe handling of the DiveGlider â and its manyfold practical applications:

     

    1.1.1 Larger diving radius

    The innovative propulsion of the DiveGlider â with compressed air allows a diving duration of up to 45 minutes and more (depending on the volume of the air bottle and diving depth) and by the easy exchange of the compressed air bottle (also under water) the diving time and radius are set almost no limits.

     

    1.1.2 Simple handling

    The energy for propulsion and trimming is supplied by compressed air from standard compressed air bottles for divers with a volume of 20 liters with a pressure of 200-300 bar.

    The innovative distribution and control of compressed air provides a speed controlled sailing operation.

     

    The system of air distribution and control, like pressure gauge, low pressure connecting hoses and standard air bottle (not included in the delivery package), is standard for sporting divers.

    1.1.3. Determination of diving depth

    The controlled diving and emersing, as well as the diving depth of the DiveGlider â are realized by an innovative air pressure trimming device.

     

    1.1.4. Easy transport

    The DiveGlider â with its ideal dimensions and reduced weight to approximately 20 kg (without air bottle) is easy to handle for transport.

     

    1.1.5. Pollution free

    The DiveGlider â is propulsed by pollution free compressed air from a grease-free compressed air expansion engine. The significant difference compared with electric engines with batteries is the lack of maintenance and minimal operation cost.

    1.1.6 Apart of the standard version the DiveGlider â can be supplied with different options and individual colours for manyfold applications:
