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. The latest in DeepWater Buoyancy’s arsenal of bottom mounts, the Benthic Lander can accommodate a host of instruments including Teledyne RD Instrument ADCPs.
