A CO₂-inflated rescue device that adapts to the person — no sizing, no fitting — and carries them to the surface in seconds.

How it works Get in touchDetection cameras exist. Alarms exist. But an alarm is not a rescue — someone still has to enter the water, find the person, and bring them up. In an unattended pool at 2 a.m., that someone does not exist.
Drowning is also silent. A drowning child cannot call out or wave; the body's instinctive response takes over and there is no splashing to hear. Most child victims were missing for five minutes or less when they were found.

PIF's approved 2026–2030 strategy commits to more than 100,000 new hotel rooms and over 70 tourism experiences. Nearly every resort room comes with pool access — NEOM, Red Sea Global, Qiddiya, Diriyah, plus Aquarabia, the world's largest water theme park, already open at Qiddiya.
Unattended private and hotel pools are the region's quiet risk: villa compounds, rooftops, resorts. In January 2026 the Saudi Red Sea Authority issued the Kingdom's first requirements for beach operators — lifeguards, signage, emergency plans and approved rescue equipment on site — in force from February 2026.

Curved arms close a ring around the torso — or around any object. A distributed soft grip, never a claw.
A bladder expands inside the ring. The person or object is secured before any lift is applied, so nothing can slip free during ascent.
Buoyancy lifts. A self-regulating pressure valve keeps the ascent steady rather than runaway — with no electronics involved.
Telescoping arms stow flat along the body, so the whole device stays small enough to carry, mount or dock. They deploy to a full ring and latch closed before the lift begins.
Beyond that, the mechanism is the subject of a pending patent application and is not described publicly.
Each version shares the capture head that surrounds, inflates and lifts. What changes is how it gets to the water — and who is holding it.
A handheld rescue tool carried to the water's edge and deployed by hand. No training time, no sizing.
A tethered vehicle flown by an operator who stays dry on land or deck. Reaches depths and conditions a diver should not.
Detects an incident, dispatches itself, retrieves, and returns to dock. Installed at the pool rather than carried to it.
A ring that closes around a torso closes around a toolbox, a sensor pod or a section of pipe just as well. Nothing on the market grabs and lifts a submerged object without a diver going down to make the attachment.
That matters commercially as well as technically: object recovery carries none of the life-safety certification burden, so it reaches customers sooner — and every recovery hardens the same mechanism the rescue versions depend on.
The full ring assembly is modelled and dimensioned, and the mechanism has been through several printed and assembled revisions — tested against the requirement that matters most in a rescue: that it opens smoothly, every time, and never jams. The first complete prototype is in build.
