UCO Expands Subsea Capabilities with 15 Deep Trekker ROVs

Deep Trekker ROVs are like no other mini ROV. With our patented system, accomplish vertical and horizontal movement all with 2 thrusters. Although, it looks much different than traditional ROVs, this system makes piloting a remotely operated vehicle extremely easy. The concept simply uses gravity to rotate the outer shell of the body, rotating the thrusters a complete 180 degrees. Combining with a little forward thrust, and our 270 degree rotating camera - the Deep Trekker system is extremely maneuverable.

A Day in the Life of a Military Diver

Extreme Divers, based out of North Fort Myers, Florida, is a contract diving company specializing in inspection, repair and construction. Key to the company’s growth and success is efficient, effective and accurate inspection of a variety of submersed infrastructure including storm drains, catch basins and varying pipes and tunnels. Extreme Divers owner Brad Rogers recognized the value a pipe crawler could bring to his company as a tool for inspection and repair. Pipe Trekker’s battery-operated pipe crawler provided Rogers with an adaptable and convenient pipe crawler option.
