Our ROV's
What we do...
Our ROV's
We exclusively use MarineNav Remotely Operated Vehicles, they allow us to go into waters that may not be safe, or comfortable, for human divers.
We use inspection-class ROV systems capable of operating to a maximum depth of 305 m (1000 ft.) and with a top speed of 6 knots. Ideal for high current environment and low light missions.

OCEANUS PRO (our workhorse)
Is a mission-ready INSPECTION CLASS ROV system that can be deployed and operated by one person. Widely used to perform demanding vessel and structural inspections, the Oceanus Pro receives power over tether giving us unlimited bottom time and has been independently certified to operate to a maximum standard depth of 305 m (1000 ft.).
Six thrusters provide power to generate top speeds of up to 6 knots , and vectorized thruster design delivers superior ROV maneuverability with lateral axis ROV movement as a standard feature. Designed to accept a wide range of MarineNav attachments, and popular brand-name third party attachments (including sonar systems).
Note: All equipment is thoroughly sanitized before entering a new site to avoid cross-contamination.
