ROV Helps Recovery Dive Teams Locate Dumped Car
in business, the JW Fishers team has heard just about every story possible concerning sunken ships, hidden treasures, scientific experiments, unexploded ordinance, location of drowning victims, and missing evidence recovery. The tools we provide to the operators undertaking these tasks vary from metal detectors and sonar systems to Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs).According to The Remotely Operated Vehicle Committee of the Marine Technology Society, “exactly who to credit with developing the first ROV will probably remain clouded, however, there are two who deserve credit. The PUV (Programmed
Underwater Metal Detectors Get the Job Done
from a vessel and falls to the murky bottom below? Most of the time, the operator does not have the necessary tools to find the missing equipment and must hire an outside diving company to aid in the search. These companies utilize a varying degree of equipment from sonar systems to underwater metal detectors.Marine Diving Service, which provides marine diving services to customers on the east coast of the United States, utilizes JW Fishers’ Pulse 8X in its daily operations. Marine Diving Service's salvage track record includes everything from small objects to big vessels, and even a historic
JW Fishers Pipe Tracking Made Easy
require they be buried from several feet to several meters under the bottom to prevent snagging by anchors and fishing. Additional and increasingly strict rules exist for piping in heavily polluted areas. This depth of burial makes it very difficult to locate these pipelines with conventional metal detectors as they are often beyond the device's detection range. JW Fishers Mfg. has developed a solution to this increasingly challenging task in the form of the PT-1 Pipe Tracker. This “pinpointing” magnetometer is designed to detect variations in pipeline (couple or ends) to help aid

device available, and over the next several years he built his own. Jack’s detector, called the Mark 1, quickly gained popularity and customer demands for new and more powerful models developed quickly. As a result, the company expanded the product line from diver-held detectors to boat-towed metal detectors (Mark 7) and magnetometers (Proton 1).In the early 1980s, underwater video options became a necessity as ocean exploration was reaching new heights. The DV-1 dropped camera system was introduced. In 1987, the Pulse 8X handheld underwater metal detector hit the open market. JW Fishers’
