Additional altimeter input and sound velocity data from the company's miniSVS ensures exact determination of position in a water column, making it ideal for underwater positioning applications down to depths of 6,000m. Other main features include a purpose-designed pressure port to prevent any build-up of salt crystals and a new conductivity sensor using digital signal processing and specially selected materials for virtual elimination of long-term drift and dimensional changes at depth.

Midas BathyPack is available with BathyLog, a new Windowsbased software package which both logs and provides a graphical illustration of incoming data. It can also accept data from up to four remote pressure sensors, applying Bathypack's measured density profile to all of them in real-time and so allowing precise pressure/depth conversions for multiple positions within localised environments.
