NMA's Visitor Friendly ROVs

Atlantas Marine of Yeovil UK has supplied two of its VideoRay Pro lll ROVs to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth. Equipped with Tritech sonars and manipulators, both are now a major feature in the NMAs ExplorOcean water tank where visitors are able to race them against other mini-ROVs over a sub-surface obstacle course.

Weighing less than 100lbs, a typical portable VideoRay system is supplied with 76m of neutrally buoyant tether and is depth rated to just over 150m. PC and laptop controllable with a microphone for real-time audio annotation of video recordings, it can be operated from a car battery
