Let’s examine lifesaving gear used by rescuers of the Sevastopol fleet.
Medium dry cargo vessels and salvage tugs.
Naval vessels with fire protection system.
A stream reach is 100 m. Fire can be extinguished both at the coast and in the sea.
Fire-hoses can be used while ashore.
Salvage vessel Epron.
Control panel Divex 2 Diver HP/LP is used to communicate with divers working underwater.
This equipment is purchased in 2003.
Underwater complex Cyclop.
Observing the diver.
Shearing equipment which is mainly used underwater.
Control room.
Hemp cutting.
Elevation and descent of a bell. Is it a diving or rescue bell?
Do you see the yellow spot underwater? It is a remotely operated vehicle Tiger that has been used on Epron since 2005.
With its help events happening underwater are transmitted on board.
Diving equipment SVG-200.
Demonstrating evacuation and rescuing of the crew.
Pneumatic unit PPU-5.
Inflatable life raft.
Sailors in rescue gear are jumping overboard.
They use hand flare to detect their location.
Inflatable raft.
Hurrying up to help on speedy boats.

Rescuing people.
Atmospheric diving suit Hardsuit 1200.
A diver can work 365 meters deep.
Trial depth is 500 meters. The suit will be broken to pieces if a diver will go 1000 meters deep.
Constant pressure supported inside the suit makes gradual ascent unnecessary as no air decompression illness is expected.
Moving the crane.
All the operations are observed from the control room.
Rescue bell.
Distress beacon.
Satellite station SAILOR.
Inflatable boat.
Pneumatic unit PPU-5.
A case with components.
This unit is used for rescuing people.
The rescue container evacuates injured people left between ships and in the open sea.
Escape slide is used to take rescued people on board.
Diving altitude chamber evacuates and transports divers who suffer from decompression illness.
Medical and gas analytical appliances.
Lightweight diving outfit.
Diesel pump aggregate 25/60 is used for dewatering.
Electric pump Major.
Electric pump VPEN-50/20.
Hydraulic unit.
Inverting welding set.
Unmanned submarine.
Side-scanning sonar Yellowfin.
Emergency line-throwing gun.
Underwater television complex.
Ultrasound calliper.
Flame-proof clothing.
This appliance is used by firemen. ‘Compressed air’
Isolating respiratory appliance to carry out oxygen decompression.
Appliance IDA-59М.
Deep-water diving equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Universal diving equipment with a mask.
Trooper immersion suit.
Thermal suit ARO V 40.
Epron, Sevastopol.
Aviation rescue units.
Aviation radiostation Р-855А1.
Rescue belt ASP-74.
Single-place inflatable raft.
The rescue life-jacket is intended to be worn by a pilot. It is made of a rubber tissue and has three isolated chambers one of which is situated at the back and two others – on the chest. To obtain original floatability the chambers are filled with bast fiber. A luorescent pack placed in the left chest chamber produces a yellow-greenish spot that makes visual search of the injured person easier.
Survival pack MSK-5.
Aviation rescue container CAS-150.
Rescue boat LAS-5М-3.
Location: Sevastopol

Sweet!
Awesome diving suits are awesome!
I wonder if these guys worked on the Kursk
Works unless you have a real problem where lives are at risk, then you need to call in the Norwegians.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_submarine_Kursk_explosion
Presumably they only got all the equipment after the Kursk sank in just 108 metres of water and the Navy was unable to dive to that depth and save the sailors.
this article and pics are about “black sea” emergency & resque diving units. the what happened to Kursk was in the Barents Sea, near Mourmansk in the nothern part of russia…
The do have cargo planes in Russia still? Right?
The hardsuit 1200 looks a whole lotta awkward but it’s nice that it’s pressurized so you can stay underwater longer/get in more bottom time.
Also it’s, self-contained underwater breathing apparatus = SCUBA.
Great post, thanks.
looks pretty much decent. i believe they decided to ditch all of those soviet-made & outdated equipment and replace it by the new high-tech stuff. and that’s a good move.
