Wreck diver Andi Peters, known from the DMAX television series of the same name, visited BAUER KOMPRESSOREN to pick up his new OCEANUS expedition compressor and took BAUER employees on an exciting multimedia journey into the depths of the North Sea in the evening. 

It had long been a dream of TV-famous North Sea diver Andi Peters to see his own BAUER compressor being built from raw castings to a finished unit. After all, he has relied on breathing air from the market leader in diving compressors during his demanding expeditions since the beginning of his career 20 years ago. Last week, he finally had the perfect opportunity to make the nearly 1,000-kilometre journey from Flensburg to Geretsried, south of Munich: his new portable BAUER OCEANUS expedition compressor, which will supply him with the breathing air he needs for his adventures starting in the 2018 season, was ready for delivery at the factory. And two places had been reserved for him and his teammate Thomas Reim on a compressor maintenance course at the BAUER Academy. 

After a day of theory and a day of practical training on the compressor under the guidance of experienced academy manager Martin Stein, the two now feel confident that they can carry out all the necessary maintenance work on the compressor themselves. During the tour, which began the following day in the prefabrication department and ended with the assembly of the system in the state-of-the-art new Plant 2, Andi Peters and Thomas Reim were particularly impressed by the effort BAUER puts into continuous quality control throughout the production process. 

Afterwards, Andi Peters was able to take delivery of his brand-new system directly at the assembly site. In the evening, the duo returned the favour with an exciting two-hour multimedia show in front of company employees. The presentation, accompanied by pictures and film sequences, and numerous original finds brought the stories and fates of the former ship's crews and passengers to life and impressively demonstrated the enormous challenges that the rough waters of the North Sea pose to people and equipment during such wreck diving expeditions.
