UnderseaROV offers a comprehensive range of services, including sales, customisation, and repairs of underwater ROVs such as the BlueROV2. We also supply high-quality subsea parts from superior manufacturers like Blue Robotics, Blue Trail Engineering, Cerulean, and Water Linked.

Water Linked 3D Sonar

Redefine your perception of the underwater environment with the advanced acoustic imaging 3D sonar from Water Linked!


Water Linked’s Sonar 3D-15 is at the forefront of underwater exploration, delivering a clear, three-dimensional acoustic image that penetrates even the murkiest of waters. This technology creates the ability for intuitive navigation, greatly enhancing the user’s capability to manoeuvre around obstacles and pinpoint targets.

Compact and efficient design, boasting a 300 meter operational depth and a mere 0.5 kilogram in-water weight, the 3D-15 is suitable for a variety of ROVs, empowering them with the ability to discern targets in challenging conditions.

SeaClearly software

Our proprietary SeaClearly software processes and enhances underwater video images in real-time!

SeaClearly can consume UDP video streams from the BlueROV2 or other RTSP-capable cameras, producing an enhanced, live-stream which greatly reduces haze and turbidity, and colour-corrects for greater visibility and easier viewing. Using high-end GPUs, latency is between 100-200ms with 1080p resolution.

Deployed on the topside laptop and capable of recording and forwarding the video stream onto other platforms and software, the real-time processed images can be used to navigate with greater accuracy, and facilitate improved underwater situational awareness.

Here is one example:

Newton Gripper and attachments

Introducing Blue Robotics’ Newton Subsea Gripper, a groundbreaking addition that empowers the BlueROV2 and other subsea vehicles to actively engage with the underwater environment. With this innovative tool, users can effortlessly retrieve objects, attach recovery lines, or free snagged tethers, enhancing operational versatility and efficiency.

The Gripper represents the culmination of several years of dedicated development and numerous iterations, resulting in a sealed design that is robust, straightforward, and cost-effective. This versatile gripper is fully compatible with the BlueROV2 and can seamlessly integrate into nearly any other ROV platform.

The Gripper has jaws that open to grab objects up to 2.44″ or 6.2cm in diameter and can now be turned into a sediment sampler capable of collecting up to 300cc at a time! This new quick-change attachment replaces the jaws on the gripper with sediment sampling cups with a total capacity of 300cc, AKA 300mL, 1.25 cups, or 10 fl oz. The rubber cups conform to the sample, particularly if there are any large objects in it, and loosely seal to keep sediment in place while you return to the surface..

An ROV that can crawl, walk and swim?

Engineers at South Korea’s Pohang University of Science and Technology are developing a new ROV that doesn’t use propellers, rather is based on a salamander with fins and “flexible backbone” for locomotion. Named HERO-BLUE, this vehicle can crawl, walk, swim and wriggle through shallow-water areas not accessible by ROVs. Full article at: CyberGuy.com 29apr24

AUVs aid in creation of “Ocean Digital Twins”

A “digital twin” is a virtual copy of a physical object or system that uses real-time data to monitor and simulate behaviour. This modelling can then identify and address issues before they occur, potential revolutionising how organisations operate and innovate. Several ocean digital twin projects are already underway to recognize and try to anticipate the …
