## Long description

ORTOVOX DIRACT blue ocean is an avalanche transceiver designed to help locate buried subjects during snow burial incidents. The device offers transmit and search modes, a compact form factor for backcountry portability, and straightforward controls intended for rapid operation under stress. It is aimed at recreational skiers, snowboarders and mountaineers who require a dependable companion for avalanche search tasks.
Advantages
The DIRACT blue ocean features a simple user interface for quick switching between transmit and search functions and is engineered for clear signal handling during multi-burial situations. Its compact and lightweight construction supports easy attachment to harnesses or clothing, while the visible finish increases recognition in winter environments. Battery operation provides field-replaceable power to maintain long-term readiness without complex servicing.
Suitable for
 Backcountry skiing and ski touring where avalanche risk exists
 Snowboarding in off-piste terrain
 Mountaineering and alpine travel with exposure to snowpack hazards
 Group outings where multiple users need standardized search equipment
When it may not be suitable
This transceiver is focused on avalanche search and rescue functionality and does not replace comprehensive avalanche safety systems such as airbags, probes, or rescue shovels. Users who require integrated multi-sensor systems, smartphone connectivity, or advanced mapping features may find dedicated high-end models more appropriate. It is also not intended as a general-purpose personal locator for maritime or aviation emergencies.
Key specifications
 Functionality: transmit and search modes for avalanche victim location
 Form factor: compact, lightweight housing suitable for chest-mount or harness attachment
 Power: battery-operated with user-replaceable batteries for field maintenance
 Usability: simple control layout optimized for quick operation under stress
 Signal handling: designed for multi-burial environments to assist in prioritizing search
How to use
Before travel, set the device to transmit mode and verify battery status. Keep the transceiver on your person, preferably on the chest or secured to a harness, ensuring the antenna orientation follows manufacturer guidance for best signal transmission. In the event of an avalanche, switch to search mode and follow the standard avalanche rescue search process: coarse search to establish direction, fine search to pinpoint the strongest signal, and probe and dig to reach the buried subject. Regularly practice switching modes and performing search drills to maintain speed and confidence.
What to consider before purchase
 Compatibility with your group's established avalanche rescue procedures and training level
 Battery type and availability in your region, plus how easy it is to replace in the field
 Weight and size relative to your pack and attachment preferences
 Whether you require additional features such as multiple-user memory, smartphone integration, or display-based guidance
Usage recommendations
Carry the transceiver switched on in transmit mode whenever you travel in avalanche terrain, check batteries before each trip, and participate in regular hands-on practice with your team. Combine the transceiver with a probe and shovel and ensure all group members know the rescue sequence to reduce search time and improve outcomes.
