Deep-Sea Cameras and Lighting

For more than a decade we have been develeoping underwater cameras, first for photogrammetric seafloor maping, but also for spatially immersive media such as the projection dome of our ARENA2-Simulator. Thus, we continuously expanded our line of DeepSurvey Cams. In parallel, we developed a series of patented, powerful LED lighting arrays for deep ocean use. All models are available for scientific joint ventures and are deploylable down to 6000m.
