Open Bottom Parachute Air Lift Bag

The Open Bottom Parachute Style Underwater Air Lift Bag is one of the most versatile and widely used buoyancy devices for underwater lifting, salvage, and recovery operations. Designed with an open-bottom configuration, the bag automatically vents excess air as it ascends, maintaining constant buoyancy and reducing the risk of over-pressurization during lifting operations.

Manufactured from heavy-duty, high-strength coated fabric, these lift bags provide a safe, reliable, and economical solution for recovering submerged objects, refloating vessels, positioning underwater structures, and supporting commercial diving operations. Their streamlined parachute design allows for easy deployment, compact storage, and excellent lifting efficiency, making them a preferred choice for marine salvage contractors, offshore operators, naval forces, and underwater engineering teams.
