Discover what sets the ENOS System apart

Logo underwater 360° Asia, online-magazine 2017/04 Veröffentlicht in: GB
A very descriptive article in the online magazine UNDERWATER 360°, written by HASTINGS FORMAN
The author describes clearly what sets the ENOS-System apart from other rescue devices and gives important safety advices.
 

Additionally in a short overview it's explained why sea emergency frequencies are not recommendable for divers; some of these frequencies are permitted and not efficient! For instance, devices equipped with Channels 16 and DSC 70 require certain conditions which can't be ignored - worldwide.

With regret many sales clerks argue legal conditions "... would be equal, the main thing is to become rescured ...".
IF the diver becomes rescued. A further sentnece used by sales clerks "... they have to rescue ..." is not always/everywhere true!
