The VideoRay ROV has been used to observe and explore shipwrecks around the world, including historic sites such as the USS Arizona, RMS Lusitania and HMHS Britannic, as well as other historic archaeological sites, U.S. Coast Guard wreck investigations and recreational artificial reefs.

In fact, a VideoRay ROV was the first underwater robot to capture images of the interior of the USS Arizona as she lies in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and explore previously unseen areas of the RMS Lusitania as she lies off the southern coast of Ireland. With depth ratings up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) and a small footprint with powerful thrusters, the VideoRay submersible can enter never-before-explored confined areas to capture high-quality video all while battling extreme conditions.

VideoRay underwater drones can also function as a time-saving predive tool to scout sites and formulate dive plans by identifying potential hazards and ascertaining visibility and current conditions without wasting valuable bottom time.

Attach a high-resolution imaging sonar to a VideoRay submersible for target location, then send it in for a closer look or even explore inside tight openings in the wreck—all while leaving the wreck undisturbed.

If divers are needed, they can also get to the wreck faster by following the high-visibility yellow tether to the site. VideoRay Mission Specialist ROVs are capable of carrying 1080p television-broadcast-quality cameras down and into historic wrecks.
