Visit JFD on stand 338 at Underwater Intervention 2018
JFD, the world-leading submarine rescue and diving equipment company and part of James Fisher and Sons PLC, is exhibiting at Underwater Intervention, the premier event for the underwater operations industry taking place in New Orleans, from 6 to 8 February 2018.
The team from JFD will be showcasing their latest commercial diver rebreather, COBRA (Compact Bailout Rebreather Apparatus) alongside leading defence rebreather, CDLSE.
COBRA has been designed and developed as part of the Divex range of rebreathers in response to the urgent need for significant improvements in safety within the saturation diving industry. COBRA provides up to 45 minutes of fully independent breathing gas in an emergency scenario, significantly improving the likelihood of a successful rescue.
Representatives from JFD will also be on hand to discuss the newly released range of Self Propelled Hyperbaric Lifeboats which have been designed and manufactured by JFD in response to industry feedback with the aim of enhancing diver safety globally.
JFD is the world’s largest manufacturer and supplier of professional diving equipment, providing everything from personal diver equipment to full saturation diving systems.
You can schedule a meeting with one of the JFD team members by emailing marketing@jfdglobal.com or alternatively drop by the stand for a chat.
JFD is also exhibiting this week at the world’s largest subsea exhibition and conference, Subsea Expo, from 7 to 9 February 2018 at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre. They have a dedicated section on the large James Fisher & Sons PLC pavilion, (stand number 4) alongside some of their sister companies.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
