ADS Hardsuit 1200
Phoenix offers Atmospheric Diving System (ADS) services to commercial and military customers who require a manned presence at the underwater work site. These one-man suits keep the operator at one atmosphere pressure at all times, and are extremely flexible and dexterous to permit work and structural inspections in tight work spaces.
Under a US Navy contract, Phoenix operates and maintains four Navy-owned ADS systems capable of diving to a depth of 600 msw.
