Description

The expertise of nearly 30 years of experience and over 5000 DVLs in the field has been distilled into a pocket-sized package—the Wayfinder DVL. Designed for today’s micro-ROVs, precision navigation and positioning of underwater vehicles has never been easier and more affordable. Wayfinder beats any DVL in its size class when you want to:

Reduce Costs

  • Minimize repairs, repeat work, and integration headaches with lower-quality solutions.
  • Track position without the added expense and complexity of a Ultra Shor​t Baseline (USBL) system.
  • Know vehicle altitude without the cost and added payload of an altimeter.

Create Better Images and Maps 

  • Support flexible mission objectives from subsea cameras and videography to seabed mapping.
  • Record locations where images/photos were taken.

Improve Productivity 

  • Navigate safely, even in turbid and deep water.
  • Find and retrieve deployed objects more efficiently.

​Reduce Complexity When Piloting 

  • Hover and station keep your ROV with confidence.
  • Mark waypoints or sites for later return.
