Marker Floats
Rugged and highly visible, our marker floats are used in ROV and Survey operations around the world. Due to their unique acoustic signature and high visibility coloration they are a popular choice for marking bottom location to facilitate ROV maneuvering.
Whether in the traditional “football” shape or in the newer stackable, “square” form, these units are extremely reliable. They can’t leak or implode. Constructed with a tough, rotationally-molded exterior shell and a solid DeepTec® syntactic foam core, these products endure even the roughest handling on deck.

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.

MiniMod™ Small Modular Buoy
MiniMod™ small modular buoys are designed for lighter applications. Still rated to depths as great as 6000 meters, the standard 7-module buoy can provide up to 330 kg of buoyancy. Made from high-strength DeepTec® solid syntactic foam that is finished with an abrasion-resistant, polyurethane elastomer coating, these buoys can stand up to rough handling on-deck and in the water. The syntactic foam modules are held together and handled by use of synthetic straps, as opposed to metal hardware for corrosion resistance, ease of handling, and no loss of buoyancy.

HardBall® Floats
HardBall® Floats provide distributed buoyancy for cable laying, offshore, and oceanographic applications. They are available in a range of sizes and depth ratings. Unlike glass spheres or hollow plastic floats, HardBall® Floats cannot leak or implode. Only the highest strength, epoxy-based DeepTec® syntactic foams are used to form the core — no macrospheres or other high risk materials.
