The SeaLion-2 is the next generation of JW Fishers very popu-
lar SeaLion ROV. It is ideally suited for a variety of applica-
tions including pipeline inspections, river and ocean searches, dam surveys,
oil and gas platform work, fish farming, and homeland security operations. The
SeaLion-2 is equipped with four high performance motors that make it more pow-
erful than the SeaOtter-2. Even more thrust is available with a “Power Boost”
feature that provides the ROV with an extra burst of speed when heavier currents
are encountered. Other advantages are 1,000 foot depth rated housing and the
ability to operate with cable lengths up to 1,500 feet. The SeaLion -2 has front and
rear facing color cameras with pan and tilt. Illumination for the front camera is pro-
vided by two 2200 lumen LED lights. A ring of high “...performed flaw-

This ROV is best for working in areas with low currents. It is
well suited to a variety of applications including piling inspec-
tions, river and lake searches, dam surveys, tank inspections, fish
farming, and homeland security operations. The SeaOtter-2 can
dramatically reduce search time, risk and the high costs associated
with diving operations. This ROV has front and rear facing color cam-
eras, each with pan and tilt. Illumination for the forward looking camera
is provided by two 2200 lumens LED lights. Lighting for rear camera is

Scanning sonar is an excellent tool for a variety of search operations because it produces a “picture” of the underwater environ-
ment regardless of water clarity. Scanning sonar is an ideal alternative for areas that are not conducive to a towed system, such
as through ice or man made lakes. Fishers SCAN-650 is a high performance scanning sonar that can be deployed from a boat
by mounting the transducer on pole handle for shallow water operations or attaching the sonar head to a tripod and lowering
it to the bottom for sharper images or deeper water OPS. This sonar can also be attached to almost any ROV to locate targets
beyond the visual range of the camera, or for use as an obstacle avoidance system in low visibility environments. The sonar
beam sweeps the bottom 360 degrees (or any portion of the circle) around the transducer.

SBP-1 Sub Bottom Profiler buried
targ
Fishers Sub Bottom Profiler (SBP-1) is the latest addition to our Sonar fam-
ily. This piece of equipment is used to identify the thickness of the different
strata layers below the ocean floor. Most importantly it will show any den-
sity disturbance within a strata layer; thus indicating that there is something
foreign underneath the surface. A transducer releases a sound pulse verti-
cally downwards through the sea floor, and a receiver records the return of
the pulse once it has been reflected off objects beneath the sea floor. Unlike
a simple echo sounder, parts of the sound pulse will penetrate the sea floor
and be reflected off of the different sub-bottom layers or strata layers.

Fishers’ SBP-1 has an advantage over most competitors as this unit is either pole
mountable for shallow water searches or boat tow-able for search in deeper areas
allowing superior versatility for the end user.

The SBP-1 system includes the sonar towfish

constructed of corrosion proof, high impact PVC,
150 feet of Kevlar reinforced cable (additional
lengths are available up to 1,000 feet) , the topside sonar processor box and laptop
computer pre-loaded with the JW Fishers SONAR VIEW for Sub Bottom Profiler
software. The SONAR VIEW software gives the sub bottom operator complete
control of all system functions with easy to use pull-down menus and icons on the
screen. The 36 inch long by 24 inch wide towfish provides a very stable platform for
the sonar transducer allowing the best possible images to be obtained. The SBP-1
is capable of penetrating up to 130 feet into the seabed. The sonar beam reflects off
any solid objects below the sea floor and is sent topside for display and storage on
the computer. An image is produced of any target of different density than the sur-
rounding substrate. With included GPS, images and positioning coordinates can be
stored in memory for playback and post processing at any time in the future. Small
file sections including screen shots can be copied for e-mailing.

Sonar Pingers and Transponders

Fishers acoustic pingers and transponders make it quick and easy to relocate an underwater
site or piece of equipment. The pinger continuously transmits a sonar signal, while the tran-
sponder transmits only when it is activated by an interrogator. A diver equipped with a pinger
receiver or interrogator (see below) can pick-up the acoustic signal and follow it directly
to the pinger or transponder. Pingers and transponders are available with different transmit
frequencies so many units can be deployed in the same general area without causing interfer-
ence from each other. Pingers and transponders can operate for a few days to several months
(or longer), depending on the selected output power and frequency. Pingers are available
in both medium frequency (20-50 kHz), for a 2 to 3 thousand foot range, or low frequency (11-16
kHz) for a 3 to 6 mile range. The pingers are also available in single frequency or multi-frequency.
The single frequency transmits only one frequency which is set at the factory. The multi-frequency
can transmit many different frequencies which are operator select-

The PT-1 is a pinpointing magnetometer designed to detect

pipeline. It works equally well on land and underwater. PT-1’s advantage over
metal detectors is its greater detection range. Its advantage over other magnetometers is
it’s directional detection capability which means the PT-1 can quickly guide the operator directly
to the target. Another advantage of the PT-1 is that is can be used in areas with iron or steel structures
nearby, such as bridges and ships, and still pinpoint the location of targets in close proximity to them. It
can even detect steel objects encased in concrete, like rebar and pipelines. Audio and visual readouts alert
the diver when a target is detected. The magnetometer has a rechargeable battery that will power it for

PROTON 5 Boat Towed Magnetometer

The PROTON 5 is the fifth generation proton magnetometer from JW Fishers.
It is a top performing, microprocessor driven, marine magnetometer detection
system. With a one Nano -Tesla (nT) sensitivity, it has the maximum usable
sensitivity for a towed proton precession magnetometer. A two second cycle
time gives a strong return signal and is fast enough to detect even small iron/
steel targets. The PROTON 5 features a triaxial, noise-cancelling sensor that
allows omnidirectional towing without heading error or dead zone. The sys-
tem is fully digitized and displays the current 5-digit measurement on an
NEW easy to read 6 inch LCD screen that is backlit for night operations.
With the optional altimeter the distance off bottom, pol time, sensitivity
and alarms are also displayed on LCD screen. Up to 80 of the previous Fish seperated into
measurements can be displayed graphically in a history plot on the LCD. User two pieces - case
friendly menus allow easy configuration of all operation settings and system included with
tuning directly from the top-side control box. The Towfish has excellent hydro- purchase
dynamic characteristics, moving smoothly through the water at tow speeds
up to 10 knots. A 2-3 knot tow speed is recommended for small targets. With
the optional UA-3 Altimeter, precise distance off the bottom can be
maintained. The PROTON 5 towfish is able to be seperated into two
parts so that it easily fits into a watertight Pelican® case (provided).
Options: USB data output, Tracker 3 software, Microsoft Surface® tablet,
Panasonic Toughbook®, Cable Management System (CMS) and
