6X and Pulse 8X are commercial grade underwater metal detectors that will locate all metals ferrous and nonferrous. The Diver Mag1 hand held magnetometer locates ferrous metals (iron/steel), and detects them from much greater distances than metal detectors. All work equally well on land and underwater.
Boat Towed Metal Detectors
10 and Pulse 12 metal detectors will locate ferrous and nonferrous targets. These boat-towed detectors have a greater detection range and larger detection envelope than the hand-held models. The Proton 4 magnetometer is a super-sensitive detector of ferrous metals (iron and steel). Many major shipwreck finds have been made using the magnetometer, including Spanish galleons.
Cable Tracker
CT-1 cable tracking system was specifically designed to locate and track buried power and communications cables. The CT-1 can locate cables buried on land and underwater. The primary advantage of the cable tracker is that it will detect cables much deeper than a metal detector. The CT-1 will not only locate and track cables, but also identify fault or break points exposed to water,
Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV):
ROVs are completely mobile underwater camera systems that are controlled from the surface and capable of staying submerged indefinitely. These ROVs are ideally suited to a variety of applications including pipeline inspections, river and ocean searches, dam surveys, oil and gas platform work, fish farming, and homeland security operations. They can dramatically reduce search time, as well as the risk and high cost associated with diving operations. Equipped with the RMD-1 remote metal detector the ROV becomes a high tech search system capable of locating weapons, unexploded ordnance, pipelines, buried treasure, and other metal objects.

Underwater Camera Systems
Caravan International offers a complete line of underwater video systems including a mini-cameras for helmet mounting, diver-held cameras, drop down cameras to view the bottom, towed cameras, and two Remote Operated Video (ROV) systems . Each system has an umbilical to the surface that feeds live video topside for viewing and recording.
Sonar Systems
Caravan International offers both side scan sonar systems and scanning sonar. The side scan is a towed system that allows large areas to be searched quickly. This sonar is one of the most popular wreck hunting tools because the image it produces looks as if the water has been removed. What the operator sees is an unobstructed view of the bottom and any objects lying there. Side scan sonar is responsible for many major wreck finds. Scanning sonar is ideal for searching smaller areas. The scanning sonar transducer can be lowered from a boat or attached to an ROV. A high resolution image of the bottom up to 40 meters from the sonar head is produced on a laptop or desktop PC. JW Fishers also manufactures an underwater altimeter. This specialized sonar system attaches to any towed equipment and shows the distance between the towed device and the bottom.
Pingers and Pinger Receiver
The Acoustic pingers and a pinger receiver to their extensive line of underwater search equipment. Pingers can be attached to, or dropped on, any underwater site allowing it to be quickly and easily relocated. Fishers Pinger Receiver is gun-like instrument that detects the acoustic signal transmitted by the pinger. The receiver can be carried by a diver or deployed from a boat. Pingers are available in 3 housing sizes; the standard housing, the Extended Operation Housing, and the Very Long Duration Housing. The larger housings dramatically increase operating time.
Accessories
Caravan International offers many accessories to make you're underwater search operation faster and easier. The Deep Dive Wing allows for deeper towing without the use of long lengths of tow cable. The DHL-1 and SL-1 underwater light systems are surface powered to provide unlimited operating time for commercial underwater salvage and inspection operations.
