DeepWater Buoyancy will be exhibiting at Ocean Business 2023 at the National Oceanographic Centre in Southampton UK.
Subsea Cable Floats
DeepWater Buoyancy’s line of Subsea Cable Floats provide low-drag distributed buoyancy for a variety of offshore, commercial, military and oceanographic applications. Available in a wide range of sizes, three different attachment styles, and with internal diameters sized to fit a wide array of cables, these floats are some of the most versatile buoyancy products available. All cable float offerings are available in depth ratings from 750 meters to 6000 meters.
Quick-Loc® cable floats feature a hinge and latch system for frequent deployment and recovery during ROV operations. Bolt-on style floats are designed for longer term deployments such as deep water moorings. A band clamp style of attachment is reserved for our smaller cable float offerings in order to maximize the buoyant force provided by each unit.
As standard, cable floats are offered with type 316 stainless steel hardware. Titanium or composite hardware may be specified, based on an application’s requirements.
HD series cable floats are ideal for large diameter armored cables and control umbilicals. Designed to handle the stresses caused by cable bending, HD style cable floats are designed with internal polyurethane elastomer inserts. These polyurethane elastomer inserts provide maximum grip and allow the cable to flex to its minimum bend radius without damaging the cable or flotation.

ROV Buoyancy
We provide the highest quality flotation for offshore, research, commercial and military vehicles. Made with DeepTec® syntactic foam, these floats are the most reliable and cost-effective choice for ROV, AUV and tow body flotation. Whether you are outfitting a new vehicle or tooling package, or require customized add-on buoyancy, you will get a superior product and quick turnaround.

Mooring Line Cable Fairing
Under certain flow conditions, taut mooring lines can vibrate or “strum”. The strumming is caused by vortices that result from the water passing over the line diameter. Strumming not only creates cable fatigue, it can have a detrimental effect on instruments in the mooring string. Our cable fairings reduce strumming by eliminating this vortex action. The result is a reduction in both strumming and drag.

Instrument Collars
Designed for long term submergence, our instrument collars provide years of reliable service and stand up to rough handling during operations. Each yields the buoyant force needed for a rapid ascent and positive recovery without impairing the performance of the instrument. From shallow water surveys to ultra deepwater positioning, you can count on these collars to help ensure overall success in the field.

ROVits®
Designed similarly to “tether balls,” ROVits® are our answer to the request for multi-purpose small floats. ROVits® provide buoyancy to make manipulator and ROV tasks easier, especially where hardware like lift eyes, pins, and handles are involved. ROVits’® rugged design and 3000m depth rating make them the most versatile tool in your support van.
