This involves everything from stitching gear bags to assembling air hoses for hookah systems. Involvement in every step of design and construction of our products allows us to control the quality of the production process from top to bottom. Please come by to visit us if you are in the Ft. Lauderdale area. We can help you with any of your hookah or scuba diving requirements or special requests.

 

 

Brownie's Assembly

 

Through Brownie's Tankfill, Brownie's designs, manufactures, and installs the finest tankfill systems for on-board yacht use. Brownie's Tankfill also provides complete diving packages and dive training solutions for yachts.

Our high pressure (HP) scuba compressors offer a completely marinized and automated alternative to other compressors in the market place. Starting with a dependable Bauer block we remove all mild steel fittings and most painted aluminum parts and replace them with stainless steel. The solid state automated controls will completely eliminate the need for crew to monitor the compressor and manually drain the condensate every 15 minutes allowing them to attend to other needs. We have additional options such as frequency drive packages, remote fill panels, four-way fill manifolds, high pressure cascade systems and many others that give us the ability to custom fit the needs of any vessel. For current pictures and information on these products please visit www.tankfill.com.

RESCUE - Not Recovery. Brownie’s Public Safety is pleased to announce the world’s only HELO™ System specifically designed for quick water rescues. Complete mini SCUBA system is donned in less than 60 seconds and stored in a briefcase sized padded bag. Public safety applications include: police, EMS, fire rescue, air rescue, beach patrol, watercrafts and more. A self-contained air supply eliminates the need for breath-hold diving in an already stressful and fast moving scenario. Each second that passes is critical to the survival of the victim. HELO™ technology allows the first officer on-scene to assess the situation, place the call for dive team back-up, and initiate the location and extraction of victim(s) while the dive team is en-route, saving valuable time and increasing the chances of a rescue. Different configurations, rescue accessories, and dive gear also available. Please visit www.browniespublicsafety.com.

 

 

About Us

Original Brownie

Mr. Brown (Brownie) started Brownie’s Third Lung (BTL) in 1969 because of his own personal desire to dive for tropical fish with as much freedom as possible. For the company’s first 16 years, Brownie’s Third Lung thrived as a garage industry, designing and building all of its products in-house. Robert Carmichael, Brownie’s first full time employee, took over ownership of the company from Mr. Brown in 1985. After recognizing a need in the boating industry for tank filling systems and unique diving concepts, Brownie’s created two new product lines in addition to the well-known Brownie’s Third Lung hookah diving units. These include Brownie’s Tankfill, which designs and builds diving solutions from marinized tank filling compressors to custom diving support work stations and Brownie’s Public Safety, which features diving products for rescue and safety professionals. In 2004, with an expanded catalog of products and services and over 30 years of experience, Brownie’s Third Lung entered the public domain as a publicly traded company, stock symbol UPCJ. Since then, a continued dedication to designing and building the world’s finest and most innovative products has helped Brownie’s become the industry leader behind the world’s largest yacht-based diving systems.
