Mako
The MAKO DDS Marks a New Evolution in Diver Transportation by Combining a Propulsion Device with the Shark Marine “Navigator”, Diver Held Navigation and Sonar Imaging System. The Combination Provides a System that is Capable of Automated Flight Paths, From a Simple “Goto Target” to Complex Survey Routes, While Providing the Diver with full Navigation and Forward Looking Sonar to View and Locate Targets up to 300m (984ft ) Away.
