Hydro-float® Mooring Buoys
DeepWater Buoyancy’s subsurface mooring buoys are more versatile and reliable than conventional hollow glass or metal floats. The buoys may be cast with through holes and instrumentation pockets on any axis without compromising their strength because of their solid construction. Clamps and mounting hardware can be added for any user-supplied instrumentation.

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.

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.

Trawl-Resistant Bottom Mounts
These TRBMs may be deployed by free-fall, or by a diver or ROV. They have a double axis gimbal inside a buoyant recovery pod, and are designed to permit retrieval of all mounted instruments. An optional Spectra line pack can be provided for recovery of the base for turnaround deployments. Our TRBMs are available in depths of over 500 meters. We also offer disposable concrete bases.

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.

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.

Spherical ADCP Buoys
Manufactured from high-performance DeepTec® syntactic foam and fitted with 316L stainless steel and titanium hardware, spherical ADCP Buoys are designed to outperform and outlast conventional mooring flotation. Available with depth ratings from 200m to 6000m, they require minimal maintenance and are extremely durable under the most rigorous deepwater conditions.

Benthic Lander
DeepWater Buoyancy’s Benthic Lander allows for deployment of instruments to the seafloor to depths as great as 6000 meters. This design is highly-customizable and can accommodate a variety of instruments. To recover, an acoustic release is activated, dropping a ballast pack and allowing the positively buoyant assembly to rise to the surface.
