Divex (now part of JFD) offer a flexible range of designs of 12, 18 and 24 man saturation systems for integration into new diving support vessels.

Divex's integrated saturation diving systems represent state-of-the-art technology. Recent innovations and the adaptation of existing technologies for diving applications have resulted in significant operational advantages. Operators are now able to continue working in sea states which would previously have seen the suspension of diving.
