Hydro 6000, underwater stereo camera integrated on a Mariner XL ROV

Hydro 6000

Dive deeper without missing a single detail

The Hydro 6000 is an ultra-deep water photogrammetry unit created to push the boundaries of standard operational depths. Reaching into the deepest waters, with a depth rating of 6000 msw, it enables data capture in the most demanding subsea environments.

6000 m depth rating
Millimetric accuracy
Reduces operational costs, saves time
Enables confident, data-driven decisions
Intuitive deployment, simple to use

Built on proven technology and supported by our extensive expertise, this unit offers the same ease of use, seamless integration and millimetric accuracy that define the entire Hydro Series range. It is compatible with Light Work Class and Work Class ROVs.

The dedication and hard work of the teams have been crucial to the success of this project. The development of new algorithms to process complex subsea data, and the designing of hardware capable of withstanding the environment and pressures found at 6000m, was only possible thanks to combined teamwork and excellent project management.
