Parachute Type Air Lifting Bags (OBP)

Underwater Air Lift Bags

Open or Enclosed Bottom Parachute Type

Underwater air lift bags are designed to be deployed underwater and filled with compressed air to create buoyancy, allowing them to lift, stabilize, or move submerged objects easily.

Underwater air lift bags are highly effective and indispensable for a wide range of underwater operations, including commercial diving, marine salvage, and scientific research. Leveraging the principles of buoyancy and pressure, these bags provide a safe and efficient way to manage underwater workloads.

Key applications include salvaging vessels from the seabed to the surface, as well as lightening underwater static structures like pipes and templates. Parachute-type bags, designed with a water drop shape and an open bottom, are effective for various tasks and can be used at any depth. This design enhances safety by minimizing entanglement risks.

Underwater air lift bags are versatile and reliable, making them ideal for scuba diving lift bags, marine salvage bags, and other related applications. Whether you need to lift heavy objects, stabilize underwater structures, or manage workloads in challenging environments, these bags are the perfect solution.
