SMP supply a range of underwater cutting equipment including underwater cutting rods and the industry standard Broco cutting torch and collets and washer. The SMP manufactured cuttings rods come in boxes of 100 rods and offer exceptional value when compared with other brand name products. We also supply circuit breakers and oxygen regulators.
Back in 2010 SMP designed a new hydraulic diver Launch And Recovery System (LARS). Since then we have sold several of these units due to the high quality of the components used and space saving design.
The launch & recovery system is comprised of a hydraulic driven A frame that is used for launch & recovery of the diving basket. The 2 diver basket has an integrated clump weight. This can be left at the bottom to keep the basket supported in the water. There are also 2 man riding winches for added redundancy. Finally a twin motor HPU is provided. The LARS design has Lloyds approval and is indepedently lift tested prior to despatch.
This attention to detail and quality has been a winning formula and to date we have sold several of these units to large offshore commercial diving contractors. The LARS system can be viewed on our website using the link: http://www.smp-ltd.com/product/productid/116/productname/Hydraulic-Diver-LARS-Diving-Launch-and-Recovery-System/
Mark Colman, a former member of the Royal Engineers and commercial diver has broken the world record for longest scuba dive. The record was broken at 14:30pm on 22nd June 2012 at The Underwater Studio in Essex. Mark has been promoting the world record attempt via Mark Colman World Record Dive 2012 blog page.
As a leading UK supplier of commercial diving equipment, Mark contacted SMP to see if we would be interested in supporting the world record attempt by supplying him with some of the breathing apparatus that he would require during the world record attempt. We were only too pleased to help and provided Mark with a Kirby Morgan Superlite 17B commercial divers helmet and high pressure breathing air cylinders.
Mark decided to attempt the world record after becoming involved with the charity Veterans in Action. The idea was to try and raise £500,000 for the charity through a wide range of highly publicised fund raising events as well as the world record attempt itself.
The old world record that stood previously was 4 days and 4 hours or a total of 100 hours. During the record attempt Mark was allowed to have 5 minutes out of the water every hour, although the plan was to take 20 minutes after every 4 hours underwater.
We look forward to hearing from Mark with further details of his record breaking effort once his blog is updated. Congratulations to Mark and his support team on the new world record.
