We developed our first SCUBA set 60 years ago, back in 1948.
Over these past decades we have been in the forefront developing safe, user-friendly, and innovative solutions for professional civilian and military divers.

INTERSPIRO DIVING. A tragic bus accident in central Stockholm after the war raised the concern that divers could not be quickly deployed to the crash site. The government asked AGA (see History) if they could provide a rapid deployment diving device for search and rescue operations.

AGA began an extensive research program and in 1948 the Worlds first underwater breathing apparatus for search and rescue was presented to the Swedish authorities.

The device, commonly referred to as the ‘iron bed’ (because of the shape of the carrying frame), featured a breathing valve with inhalation and exhalation in the same diaphragm. The first of many Interspiro innovations in the field of diving.

Today, 60 years later, the latest generation of Interspiro SCUBA – Divator MK II – is still the preferred choice for search/rescue and search/recovery operations around the World. The MK II 324 setup (300 bar, 2x4 litre cylinders) with its compact design, is the tightest fitting SCUBA on the market. Interspiro is leading the way towards composite cylinder diving, Divator Lite, which improve ergonomics and simplify logistics.

The Interspiro diving philosophy is a system philosophy. All parts of the breathing circuit – from the full-face mask all the way up to the last thread on the DP1 Surface Supply – are tightly integrated. The reason is simple and obvious, to obtain the highest possible safety level for professional divers.
divator mask
Our best-known diving product is the Divator full face mask (a.k.a the 'AGA'-mask). The Divator full-face mask is the Worlds most sold full-face mask.
Even if you are not acquainted with Interspiro, or with our products, it is quite likely that you have seen the Divator mask watching professional divers at work on television and in the movies.

But the real magic is not the face mask, the balanced breathing valve with its high capacity, low breathing resistance and extreme resilience to dangerous fluids is the real pride of our engineering staff.
top gear for top performers
Every day, all around the World, our equipment stands trial to the toughest and most difficult of diving conditions. Interspiro gear divers are not sport divers; they are the best-trained and most experienced underwater professionals on earth.

NASA rescue divers used Divator gear when they salvaged the ocean landing Moon program pods. A wonderful testimony to what we mean when we say top gear for top performers. NASA is still using our equipment; the divers who work with the space walk simulations use Divator MK II – because of its reliability and close fitting design.
