Also new from the Aquatec Group is the AQUAmodem Op1L, a lightweight version of its standard optical modem designed for use by divers and on small

ROVs. The optical modem allows short range interrogation, commanding and data download from underwater equip- ment. The AQUAmodem Op1L is compatible with any instrument with an RS232 serial interface, including

Aquatec’s AQUAlogger and HYDRO- log ranges, and can replace costly ROV mateable connectors or cables. The lat- est version is also interchangeable with

Aquatec’s original optical modem.
