Silent Planet

Stainless steel tools, each with a specific scuba purpose

Compact high quality multitool from XS Scuba. SRP £25

Silent Planet’s Heated Vest System utilises the diver’s primary light battery by swapping over the underwater pluggable (E/O) cord, or at any time during the dive with an additional canister or E/O ‘Y’ piece. This multifunctional system allows you to build on your existing system components to apply additional heat when you need it during the dive.

Until the end of June, When purchasing an SP heated vest (SRP  £425) we will upgrade the canister of any suitable light to E/O cords for free, saving you £50.

You can also upgrade both the canister and light head to E/O cords for just £50, saving £125.

Silent Planet is proud to be a main sponsor of Eurotek 2010.  Visit our stand in October at Eurotek to see our latest products.

Silent Planet heated ves

Underwater comfort can be increased and DCS risk reduced by wearing heated under-garments.  Our new product, a heated vest system, is well-priced and offers improved functionality in comparison to many existing products.

This functionality is achieved with an innovative combination switch which replaces your standard dry-suit inflator and routes both power and air through the one inlet as well as incorporating a rotating on / off switch. There is thus no need to make an additional hole in your drysuit for the power supply.The switch also incorporates a relay to prevent over discharging your battery by cutting off the power supply just below 10V.

The vest system also utilises the diver’s primary light battery by swapping over the underwater pluggable (E/O) cord, or at any time during the dive with an additional canister or E/O ‘Y’ piece. This multifunctional system allows you to build on your existing system components to apply additional heat when you need it during the dive.
