Speciaal ontworpen voor het ontsnappen uit onderzeeërs. De IDA-59 was het antwoord aan de bemanning van Russische onderzeeërs die zich ernstig zorgen maakte over de duikdieptes die in deze jaren konden worden bereikt. De rebreather is ontworpen als een borst gedragen model. Het perfecte ontwerp heeft zich in de praktijk bewezen toen de bemanning van de Komsomolets zich vanaf een diepte van 600 (!) meter met deze rebreather zich wisten te redden. Het toestel is niet alleen gebruikt voor het ontsnappen uit de commandotoren maar ook uit de torpedobuizen. Het toestel kan zowel als zuurstofrebreather en als trimix SC rebreather worden ingezet.

At the left on a photo the general view of the device IDA-59, and on the right way of accommodation on a body is represented.

The device IDA-59 was accepted on arms in 1960. It is intended for use by crews of submarines as for realization of simple diving works as well as for rescue in emergencies. In the latter case device allows to carry out(spend) stops for decompression due to an opportunity of change of a gas mix. The device consists from tank in capacity 1 litre with a mix heliox under pressure 250 bar. And one more of tank containing oxygen, box of an absorber, respiratory bag, oxygen device of submission of gas. At rise on a surface the respiratory bag is inflated and is used as a saving waistcoat.

With the help of this device the crews of submarines left from depths up to 300 meters.
