ABS CLASSED – Diver Launch and Recovery System with Single Diver Basket (LARS)

The SmartDives ABS Launch and Recovery System (LARS) is designed to provide safe, controlled, and reliable deployment and recovery of commercial divers during surface-supplied operations. A robust base skid, rigid A-frame, and integrated diver basket with guide weight ensure smooth, stable vertical movement and allow two divers to be launched and recovered with confidence.

Twin hydraulic man-riding winches positioned on the aft frame give operators clear visibility and precise handling, supporting safe and efficient diving operations offshore and nearshore. The system is engineered with careful attention to structural strength, operational ergonomics, and built-in redundancy.

As an ABS Marine Classed system, it meets internationally recognised standards for offshore lifting and man-riding equipment, simplifying vessel acceptance and project mobilisation. Designed in accordance with IMCA D023 (Design), the SmartDives ABS LARS reflects our commitment to practical engineering and dependable, safety-first performance—dive after dive.
