About
Subsalve USA was founded in 1977 by Richard Fryburg, who was inducted into the ACDI Hall of Fame in 2020. In 1985 the company received a U.S. Navy contract for Mark II Mod I Explosive Ordnance Disposal Systems, which evolved into the Subsalve Mark V. In 2017 Subsalve became part of Performance Inflatables Co LLC, and it launched its Buoyancy Control Technology in 2018.
Notable projects include moving and installing the 510 ft Spiegel Grove as an artificial reef in 2001 with more than 600 tons of Subsalve lift bags, and supporting the launch and recovery of James Cameron's Deepsea Challenger in 2012, which dived to 35,736 ft in the Mariana Trench. Products carry a one-year warranty.
