Targeted Search & Recovery
Locating and retrieving lost anchors, outboard motors, jewelry, or dropped tools using a subsea metal detector, 4K camera, and robotic arm.
What This Involves
Most lost-item searches are solvable with the right search pattern and the right tool, not a diver sweeping blind. We run a subsea metal detector and 4K camera survey over the likely drop zone, then recover the item directly with a robotic arm fitted with magnets or hooks as the object requires — an anchor, an outboard, or something as small as a dropped tool or piece of jewelry.
How It's Done
Drop-zone estimate established from the client's account of the incident
Subsea metal detector and camera search pattern run across the estimated area
Target confirmed visually before recovery
Recovery via robotic arm, magnet, or hook depending on the object
Deliverable
The recovered item, or a documented search record if the object isn't located within the agreed search scope.
Who It's For
Vessel owners and marina users who've lost an anchor, outboard, tool, or valuable overboard.
