The new generation Divex MKIII HeliCom product serves both the Saturation Diving and Surface Oriented Diving markets. 

The Divex MKIII HeliCom product is offered as a 19” x 3U* form factor electronic system chassis incorporating field proven HMI touchscreen technology, embedded software (non-configurable), high performance digital signal processing (DSP), helium speech unscrambler (HSU), 3 fully isolated communications channels and integral power supply unit as standard.

The Diver Communications System is designed typically for helium  peech communications where the operator is typically a Dive Supervisor or a Life Support Supervisor / Life Support Technician for SAT Control chamber comms applications.

The remote users can be in-water divers, bellmen, divers in the chambers or any other personnel located at a remote outstation (e.g. on-deck personnel, crane operators etc).

A variant is offered to the Surface Oriented Diving sector with no Helium Speech Unscrambling capability. The MKIII HeliCom product incorporates a rear fascia hosting most recent electrical connections as well as front fascia headset connection allowing easy integration into existing systems utilising the CO363 series HeliCom range.
