CONTAINERISED DIVE SYSTEMS
DOCUMENT INFORMATION
We are pleased to present our technical specification for the HYDRA SL 3 - 1500
Containerized Diving System. The SL 3 Containerized systems are divided into the
following ranges:
The Hydra SL 3 - 1500 Containerised Diving systems are specifically designed to give a
compact option to diving systems offered by our competitors. We realise the necessity to
use the least amount of deck space onboard a vessel and ensure that shipping &
mobilisation costs are kept to a minimum.
A variety of layouts for systems are available and our design office can provide a custom
system layout to suit your vessel and diving requirements. The configuration offered in
this specification is viewed as being the most practical solution that complies with
IMCA’s diving standards and your specification requirements.

3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
This Section provides the reader with the technical specification of the HYDRA SL 3 -
1500 containerized diving system and describes, with illustrations, all the main
components and their functions.
The HYDRA SL 3- system comprises the following main equipment and is clearly
specified within this technical specification.
Container Specification
Container Fit out specification
Chamber and Dive Control Specification
Self sealing access door to container c/w with window and lock.
This door uses very similar seals to the larger container doors and
provides very good weather resistance.
Security covers for all electrical and gas penetrations c/w padlocks
Aluminium chequer plate flooring in all walking areas.
Fluorescent lights mounted on stainless steel chains to prevent breakage during shipping
Double socket European or American plug points (Please specify)
Electrical distribution board with double pole isolating breakers, RCD and suitable cable
glands.
All switches are labelled appropriately.
All chamber exhaust and BIBS exhaust is piped externally of the container to prevent a
build up gases inside the container.
The exhausts are vented external of the container through a silencer
The area is marked with a hazard sticker.
A book case is provided to store all relevant dive procedures, job information and system
certification.
A small desk area is also created for use by the diving supervisor.
Lockable drawers are provided for storage of valuables
The air cylinder storage bank is split into 2 x 6 cyl banks which can be individually
isolated. The specifications are as follows:
In order to regulate the HP air from the Storage bank to the chamber and the Dive panel, a
High Pressure air management panel is used.
The panel consists of two regulators one for the chamber and one for the dive panel:
HP Inlet isolating valve
Inlet filter either inline or part of the regulator
HP regulator
Outlet non return valve
Outlet ¼ Turn ball valve
There is an additional cross connect feature for the regulated air. This provides the added
feature of using the chamber regulator for support of the divers panel.
All fluorescent lighting in the container is fitted with an emergency back up battery
facility that automatically comes on when the mains power is lost.
15m long interconnect hoses are supplied with the system to connect the machinery
container to the dive control container.
All fittings are supplied with dust caps
Hydra Marine is committed to supporting its products throughout their life-cycle and all
spare parts are readily available from Hydra Marine for a minimum period of fifteen years
after purchase. Prices for spare parts will be charged at Hydra Marine’ standard list price.
Instrumentation, valves and components used in the system are standard industry
recognised products which are generally available worldwide from accredited agents and
dealers.
For this contract the following documentation and specification for documentation will be
provided:
A general overview of the system, main components and their functions, together with
diagrams, physical data, operating conditions and interfaces
Operating information including equipment preparation, operating instructions,
equipment shutdown procedures, fault diagnosis routines and recovery procedures. Also
included are guidance notes on hazards associated with the use of the equipment.
Detailed user technical information, which provides the user with sufficient technical
knowledge to understand the equipment and to cross-reference with the illustrated parts
lists in the Maintenance Manual.
Suitable classroom facilities with an overhead projector, data projector and whiteboard
for theoretical training. Practical training will be conducted at the required site.
Hydra Marine warrants that all goods supplied are free from defects. Workmanship is
guaranteed for 12 months from date of shipment. In addition, all suppliers’ guarantees for
equipment fitted are passed on to the client, including analysers, communications sets and
other electronic items.
Hydra Marine will repair and replace materials and equipment covered by the 12 month
warranty or supplier’s guarantees for products returned to the Cape Town factory.
Shipping and transport costs are however excluded.

DOCUMENT INFORMATION
2 MACHINERY CONTAINER
Fluorescent lights mounted on stainless steel chains to prevent breakage during shipping
One set of lights is fitted with an emergency battery back up
Double socket European or American plug points (Please specify)
Electrical distribution board with double pole isolating breakers, RCD and suitable cable
glands.
All switches are labelled appropriately.
General Hazard labels are provided throughout the system in hazardous locations
A suitable working area is provided for servicing and maintaining of diving equipment.
The workbench is fitted with the following:
• Heavy duty vice
• Overhead light
• Tool board
• Shelf unit.
• Spares cupboard and rack area is provided depending on your requirements for
storage of goods
• Lin Bin Storage facility – Approximately 5 units
2.2.4 Penetrations
Security covers for all electrical and gas penetrations c/w padlocks
Thermal insulation is by means of Lloyds approved Marine ply laminated with Wilson
Art fire resistant white laminate.
The boards are then securely fastened to the container.
Rock wool insulation is installed between the boards and the container.
Insulation is on the roof only.
Self sealing access door to container c/w with window and lock.
The door is provided with a open stay
For machinery space purposes the door is also provided with ear muffler protection hooks
and a place to store individual ear protection plugs.
In order to provide good circulation of cooling air passed the compressor block, a
stainless steel louvre is provided mounted in the bulkhead nearest the compressor block.
The louvre is designed to provide adequate cooling for the compressor.
The louvre is designed to stop rain from entering the container.
The sizing and design of the trunking to the compressor will be as specified by the
compressors manufacturer. Trunking will ensure a flow of air across the compressor
block for adequate cooling.
The following supply hoses will be supplied with the system and rated for 360 bar
AIR QUALITY: Air quality exceeds SABS-019-1985-3, DIN EN 12021 and BS 4001.
WARRANTY: 1 year or 500 hour warranty.
FEATURES :
The Quincy runs at lower speeds, resulting in lower operation temperatures and
maximum compressor efficiency.
It features durable cast iron construction for longer life and less down-time, and heavy
duty disc-type valves for efficient air flow, resulting in more air per horsepower.
The Quincy body has a thicker casting to prevent heat related distortion of internal
tolerances.
The Quincy volumetric efficiency is enhanced by a combination of thick horizontal and
vertical cooling fins, which control metal expansion and help prevent oil carry-over.
