| The
world leaders in the fields of seabed mapping, imaging
sonar and acoustic communications and specialise
in design, development and production of products
using these technologies for underwater data acquisition.

Sonars
: |
 |
Scanning
sonars ranges from the miniature Mercury,
designed for use on the smallest of ROV's to the
SV6000 Sonar, the deep ocean
sonar, for operation on ROV's or manned submersibles.

Seabed
Classification : |
|
|
| RoAnn
remote sensing hydro-acoustic sensor providing seabed
classification data to produce seabed bottom type
maps.
RoxAnn uses a patented technqiue
to extract data on bottom roughness and hardness
from the first and second echosounder returns
from the seabed. It interfaces with a Global Position
System (GPS) and PC enabling real-time seabed
classification and mapping of geological and biological
features using RoxMap Software.

 |
| This
system has been in use for over a decade in a wide
variety of applications and has a number of benefits
to the user including being easy to use. |

Dive
Communication System: |
|
|
Voice
communications applications such as Saturation Diving,
Tourist Submarine and Rescue Submarine. The system
can be used either as a normal communications channel
or as an emergency system in the event that the
normal cabled communications link is broken.
The standard communication system SubCom
2000 is used in saturation diving systems,
but this system is backed by a further range using
lower frequencies for greater range and dual frequencies
for multi-channel communication. |

Video
: |
|
 |
| Underwater
video cameras and lamps. The range includes colour
and low light cameras, lamps and surface display
products. Sonavision manufacture the Borehole
Camera, which is used to inspect boreholes
and vertical structures like caissons, the Hawkeye
Camera and Dive Lamp which
are used in the Diving and ROV industries. |
