Load video: A quick cut video of the assembly process of an exploreHD camera at DWE headquarters. The clip shows the PCB board being tested, the camera module being soldered, microscopic sensor cleaning, machining of the housings, assembly of the PCB board within the housing, and final underwater testing of the camera.

Our Mission

A.I. is only as good as your data. So we designed marine optics which provide crystal clear underwater imaging data. Our innovative solutions empower marine robotics, autonomous surface vehicles, aquaculture farms, and even rugged aerial drones with cutting-edge mapping and vision capabilities. We offer businesses cost-effective equipment to monitor subsea assets, perform detailed inspections, and gather environmental data in extreme environments to redefine the possibilities of underwater research and operations.
