Lift devices are certainly not the sole domain of technical diving - open water divers are discovering the utility of an additional lift tool underwater and on the surface. In the Halcyon MC system, the choice of an alternative lift device is yet another refinement of the BC concept that stresses diver safety and comfort.
Halcyon's Supra CC lift bag, Surf Shuttle and or Safety Sausage belong on every drift, shore or wreck dive to mark location or assist in underwater emergencies that require additional lift. All three innovative devices make excellent signalling devices on the surface, while the Supra and the Surf Shuttle can be utilised as supplemental flotation devices at depth.
The Diver's Life Raft is an essential safety device for anywhere currents or distance could create a life threatening separation from the boat.
Key Features
Halcyon lift devices are designed for minimum storage size
and maximum efficiency. Store your alternative lift device
in an MC Storage Pak, in a thigh pocket or on your crotch
D-ring. Halcyon inflatable alternative devices are
practically transparent to the diver while stored but can
be deployed easily when the need arises
All Halcyon lift devices except the Safety Sausage include
stainless steel attachment hardware.
Standard No Lock connector attaches to the shraeder valve
on your low pressure inflator hose but lacks a locking ball
groove. This connection prevents uncontrolled assents while
inflating a lift device underwater.
No more imprecise, inconvenient or risky inflation by
diver's regulator.
Inflatable at any depth, each device can function as a
redundant BC.
No Lock connector allows for single handed throttle like
inflation from any conventional BC quick release fitting.
Surf Shuttle
US$155 / RO59.6
The Surf Shuttle provides an essential margin of safety for the diver facing a long wait at the surface prior to boat pickup or even a long swim to shore. The Surf Shuttle and the Diver's Life Raft are essential gear for any diver who may be stranded on the surface after a dive.
Key Features
Four feet long with 30lb lift capacity. 
Perfect for Divemasters or Instructors working with novice
divers. Redundant flotation at depth and on the
surface. 
Redundant flotation at depth and on the surface.
Can be sent up from a reel as a position marker or with a
note in its message holder. 
Bright orange provides maximum visibility for boat or
airborne traffic. 
Stores easily in the MC Storage Pak. Diver's Life
Raft Key Features
Storage pouch for jacket style BC users.
Six feet long with 30lb lift capacity.
Redundant flotation at depth and on the surface.
Similar to Navy pilot life raft on the surface.
Supports a diver completely out of the water in an
emergency. 
Can also function as a lift device, alternative buoyancy or
signal marker. Supra CC closed circuit lift device
Divers are discovering that lift bags are useful for much more than just salvage and underwater lifting. Supra CC lift bags can be inflated through any low pressure source and feature a one way over pressure valve to ensure that the bag will maintain lift all the way to the surface. Whether used as a marker device while at depth, supplemental surface flotation or as a signalling device, lift bags provide an added margin of safety and comfort.
Key Features
Supra CC lift bags fold so small they can be stored in the
Halcyon thigh pocket or Backplate Pak.
Closed circuit design means that the object of a difficult
search will reach the surface without the risk of dumping
buoyancy. 
Open water divers should always carry a marker buoy they
can send up in the event of separation from buddy, primary
group or boat. 
Available in 80lb, 185lb, 250lb and 500lb lift capacities.
