Rapid Diver Unveiled At This Year's Special Forces Conference in Tampa

June 2005-Tampa, Florida-One of the highlights at the Special Forces Conference, was the tactical version of the Rapid Diver system. The International SOF Week 2005/APBI (Advance Planning and Birefing to Industry) Conference in Tampa, FL, was the first-ever International SOF week which included special operators and military representatives from over 80 countries.



The Rapid Diver system met with great enthusiasm from the Special Ops personnel who greatly appreciated the light weight and versatility. This is a great opportunity for us to show the Rapid to the folks who need it the most said Aquaturis President, Christopher De Felice.



RAPID DIVER is a lightweight, all-inclusive scuba system that mates a tank, regulator and buoyancy module to a uniform-fit, load-bearing harness. It was created in response to public safety and military needs for a compact, versatile and easily deployed scuba system. Mission requirements called for a system that could be stored in a small space, donned and activated quickly, and worn in situations such as helicopter and boat operations in which conventional scuba gear would prove too cumbersome and restrictive. Comfort was also of great importance, as some operations would require the user to wear the gear for extended periods of time while engaged in complex, task-loaded missions.
