4 reasons you should be using optical modems 
Optical modems give you a wireless connection to your instrumentation underwater as if you had a cabled connection to a PC at the surface. This highly powerful tool means you can check your instrument is working, change the settings, collect data and reprogramme them for the next deployment – not bad for one piece of kit! Suitable for divers or ROVs to use, let’s explore further…

Seeing is believing – the advantages of subsea LCD displays 
When you think of a subsea display, you most likely think of a large LED display with a chunky battery pack. This may have been the case in the past but now there is a new generation of displays that use LCD technology. Not only do the new displays have more detailed screens and greater functionality, they are smaller and more compact to greater depths, as well as being clearly seen under ROV or diver lights. Aquatec’s AQUAdisp uses this technology – let’s have a look at some of the advantages…

‘But I don’t want turbidity’… 
Perhaps a strange topic for a company that manufactures turbidity loggers, but this is a common problem for those using optical instruments to study suspended sediment. A lot of researchers, surveyors and consultants actually want to measure suspended sediment concentration (SSC), but end up measuring turbidity. Let’s investigate…
