FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 18, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. (OTCBB:BWMG), a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of highly specialized dive and safety products has made available instructional videos on how to repackage it's unique highly low profile garment integrated personal flotation device – the GI-PFD. As the device is often used in connection with body armor, the company has also made available videos that seek to answer some of the common questions such as on what types of e.g. body armor the device fits and also demonstrations of how the device does not interfere with the users' preferred personal configuration of other gear.
The specially designed garment integrated personal flotation device is designed purposefully so it can be worn during any waterborne operation, including maritime airborne operations, onboard vessels of all sizes included tenders and smaller RIBs and at any other work places near water. With its very small profile the device avoids interference with users' movement or comfort in action, line of sight, ability to operate, function and carry other equipment ranging from radios and other communication devices, weapons, tools and other tactical gear configuration.
The GI-PFD uniquely offers 42-lbs of effective flotation directed at stabilizing the head in a "nose/mouth out of water" position. The device can be packaged so as to inflate automatically when in contact with water or to be manually inflated for situations in which user is likely to be operating in or out of water. Once inflated the GI-PFD can be adjusted to change the amount of freeboard and it also has an oral inflator allowing the user to keep the device topped off during extended stays in the water.
Currently the device is produced only in black, but Brownie's Marine Group will consider producing in custom colors depending on order size. Similarly custom changes can be made to choice of buckles and potentially materials used. The device fits most if not all types of body armor and can be attached in minutes and takes up very little space in areas typically not utilized for equipment placement.
