General Information about Airdive Since 1954
This totally Australian company is privately owned and was
started by James Ager in 1954. His many innovations in
hi-tech breathing equipment include over 30 industry "firsts", with
numerous provisional and patent applications resulting from his
tireless commitment to quality. In 1957, patents were first
applied for a balanced first stage which was marketed under the
name "Sea Bee". For the next two decades the "Sea Bee"
products were used by recreational and professional divers alike
and stood for quality and innovation in the Australian diving
industry. Many of Jim's innovative "firsts" such
as the environmentally sealed 1st stage, have been
incorporated into todays modern demand valve designs. Airdive
Equipment Pty Ltd was first incorporated in June 1962 and the
company name stands to this day.
A design engineer, diving instructor, and technical consultant,
no one person in Australia has been in the industry as long, nor
possesses more knowledge in the field of diving technology and
equipment design. Airdive's modern "in-house" CNC engineering
and moulding facilities enable most product components to be made
on site. This ensures that quality is maintained and costs are more
controlled. With a highly trained and committed staff we
manufacture cylinder valves, regulators (standard, balanced and
integrated), emergency ISV and IBV units. We also produce oxygen
safety gear and can supply H.P. compressors, L.P. SSBA (Surface
Supply Breathing Apparatus) products as well as Hydro testing and
filling systems. Our "upstream" second stage regulators are used
almost exclusively by the majority of commercial and recreational
SSBA divers within Australia. Our SCUBA regulators are regarded by
many professional level divers today as "the best regulator they
have ever used". Our switchable venturi 2nd stage has, since 1982,
been one of the easiest breathing demand valves with a performance
level only recently matched by some of our high priced
international competitor's. Many still cannot match our products
performance. Airdive supplies industry, defence and government
departments, the professional and sporting dive markets, and
tourist resorts throughout the Asia/Pacific region.
