RALF TECH X PETRODIVE COLLABORATION

Who in the world can best talk about scuba diving, waterproofing, resistance and efficiency?

Who has accumulated enough experience, know-how and knowledge of dangerous environments over the years?

Former Navy divers, of course!

And when they start working together, the result is clear: the WRX Electric PETRODIVE.

PETRODIVE is a multinational company specialising in underwater work in the oil and gas sector. Headquartered in Dubai, the company works with international oil and gas companies mainly in West Africa (Senegal, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Congo, Cameroon) and Central America.

All offshore diving intervention services are provided in accordance with OGP and IMCA recommendations.

With over 15 years of significant offshore experience, the company’s mission is to provide high quality services, with a particular focus on safety and operational efficiency.

Since 2009, PETRODIVE has invested in sophisticated, high-performance equipment and intensive training programmes with the aim of producing certified, experienced divers who can work at depths of up to 300 metres.

Following an initial partnership in 2014, PETRODIVE and RALF TECH have once again pooled their expertise to equip professional divers with a new high-performance work tool that guarantees their safety. Today, the two worlds meet again in a limited edition of the new WRX Electric called ‘Offshore’.
Timing, Precision, Reliability, Efficiency – all attributes that can be applied to PETRODIVE’s expertise as well as to RALF TECH’s creations.

‘In addition to guaranteeing real water-resistance, these new WRXs are equipped with a new ‘Electric’ movement, new ‘Sandwich’ dials and an innovative encapsulation system. The new WRX was launched on 8 October this year after 2 years of development and testing in deep waters with the French Navy’, explains Frank Huyghe, Chairman of RALF TECH and a former professional diver.

These technical characteristics, validated by sea trials, represent the sum total of all RALF TECH’s expertise.

‘Most PETRODIVE divers were already equipped with the WRX Hybrid Original. We are delighted to be continuing the collaboration we have enjoyed with RALF TECH for over 5 years’, enthuses Stéphane Troté, CEO of Petrodive.

‘Our offshore divers work at depths of up to -200 m and are sometimes required to dive in hostile environments. Operating in a range of temperatures from -10° to +55°, it is highly resistant to shock and vibration.
