The CDLSE (Clearance Divers' Life Support Equipment) is made by Divex in Aberdeen, Scotland.[1] It is an electronic closed circuit rebreather designed to be silent and non-magnetic. It allows diving to 60 metres (200 ft) using air as diluent, or up to 120 metres (390 ft) using heliox and trimix.[2]
Some sources describe it as a "Stealth Clearance Divers Life Support Equipment".[3]
As of June 2007[update], the Royal Navy plan to use it to replace the Carleton CDBA.
It is also used by the French Navy, Royal Australian Navy and Republic of Singapore Navy.
