OCEANBOTICS rent waters. The SRV-8X is built for professionals need- ing greater payload capacity without sacri? cing portability.

Depth-rated to 305m (500m option available) and powered for up to 6 hours, this ROV is engineered for tough condi- tions and mission versatility.

At the heart of every Oceanbotics system is SubNav OS, a closed-source software developed by Oceanbotics for all underwater ROV operations, offering intuitive piloting, mis- sion recording, navigation, and post-processing with free periodic updates and the fastest technical support.

Oceanbotics designs and manufactures ROVs that are built This year, Oceanbotics was featured for the third year on to perform in real-world conditions while remaining easy Discovery’s Shark Week in the special “Black Mako of the enough for non-technical users to operate with con? dence.
