On Oct 11, 2024, DRYFOB released its new double length XL waterproof container, the DRYFOB-TXL. The new DRYFOB-TXL (or Tall XL), is over twice as long as the original DRYFOB-XL which has quickly become the go-to dive-rated container for PLBs and marine radios for divers all over the world.
The larger container is suitable for newer devices combining AIS/PLB with a long footprint as well as some of the larger PLBs and marine radios which did not fit into the original XL. Made up of two standard XL bottoms connected with a hollow sleeve, it is possible to mix and match parts with the XL to alternate between the TXL and the XL.
The new TXL opens the door for new devices and new marine applications for DRYFOB products. including deep sea research. An independent accredited lab performed certification testing of the new container giving it an official IPx8 depth rating of 1,200 ft!
