An aluminium hull, so the whole system travels as one piece

Hull weight · from 900 kg

Weight is what decides whether a system can be moved at all, and the hull is where the weight is. Aluminium is what takes it out. The gas supply and the console are carried on the same skid as the vessel, so what travels is one piece rather than a convoy. Most systems are carried aboard ships and vessels; the same system also moves by helicopter, small trailer or ambulance.

Room for one diver and one attendant

The chamber is written as 1+1 (one diver and one medical attendant), and it is twin-lock, so the main lock and the ante-lock are separate pressure spaces. The NATO Flange is standard, so the mating connection is to a common standard rather than a proprietary one.
