ROVs: A New Angle on your Boat

Australians love being on the water - whether for fishing, cruising, entertaining or just spending family time. Fish finding equipment and other technological advances have expanded the capabilities of pleasure craft to let people gain the most from their boating experiences.

Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have been used for many years by naval and maritime professionals for examining boat hulls, reefs, studying marine life and understanding the underwater environment.

Recent developments in ROVs have brought professional equipment within reach of boat owners who take their boating enjoyment seriously. Equipment such as the tiny AC-ROV and the professional standard Seaeye Falcon are opening up entirely new horizons in underwater access.

With an intuitive hand-controller (just like video games) and quick and easy setup, the professional, robustly engineered AC-ROV is perfectly equipped to become standard gear on board your cruiser or yacht.

Perhaps you want to see the fish you are about to land; admiring marine life and formations or just want to regularly inspect your propeller condition mooring security or anchor and hull fittings. Whatever your marine pleasure, a micro ROV will deliver endless hours of fascinating viewing of what lies below you.

In commercial diving applications the AC-ROV has shown its value for general inspection or as a safety device to be deployed with the dive team. Operators have reported the successful completion of seabed inspection survey’s in harsh conditions to depths of 20 meters using a clump weight in 3 knots current.

Initially purchased to carry out propeller, hull, reservoir, aquaculture installation and general harbour inspections the capable nature of the AC-ROV has surprised its owners. Impressed by the vehicle and overall system size, camera image quality, mobility and thrust to weight ratio, the AC-ROV is introducing its owners into a whole new realm of underwater enjoyment.

SeaVision can provide ROVs starting from the tiny AC-ROV to the professional standard Falcon - a powerful and versatile ROV that gives you the ability to explore to greater depths and recover items from the seabed. Some yacht owners have fully integrated the Falcon controls into yachts for a complete ROV control room.
