Underwater Drones Detect Treasures

The SeaSearcher is an experimental platform that is focused on localizing objects of interest ranging from the sea-bottom to several meters below the bottom. It offers the technology to perform high-resolution 3D imaging below the sea-bottom in real-time on an autonomous vehicle has not. The underwater drone might change the way the industry as a whole will operate in the future.

Seafarer has three different work platforms (boats) to work off of with three different crews on the site and a small run-about anchor boat. The three work boats have experienced crew members of at least four divers per boat. Seafarer utilizes three archeologists, one with a doctorate from Oxford and two with over thirty years experience each in the treasure industry.
