3:00 – 3:30 pm PREVCO SUBSEA LLC
Prevco Subsea are using Ceramic for subsea vessels and we are the first company to do this on a commercial basis. We’re excited about the opportunities, especially for deep sea use, as there are many benefits to using this material.
Ceramic, although brittle on impact, is a remarkably strong substance under pressure, where its strength increases with depth, making it a strong but lightweight alternative to other materials.
Benefits include a lighter in-water weight than Titanium, it is non-magnetic, has low electrical and high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
The nature of Ceramic may limit its uses, however for the right application, it could be the perfect alternative to heavier, more costly materials.
We’ll explain more about the pros and cons of this technology at our presentation and you can visit our site www.prevco.com for more information.

2:15 – 2:45 pm TELEDYNE MARINE
The Diver6 System is a new maritime tracking technology that utilizes Teledyne Benthos Modem communications, significantly enhancing diving command, control, and safety. As a supplemental resource, Diver6 assists Dive Supervisors in monitoring and tracking providing unparalleled situational awareness. Diver6 is proudly made in the USA.
Diver6 provides up to date information on the divers in the water allowing the dive master to make faster, safer, and more accurate decisions.
Using hardware and software designed and manufactured by Azimuth Inc, Diver data is transmitted via a Teledyne Benthos acoustic modem to a receiving unit on the surface. Data is then transmitted to a monitoring computer that records, calculates, and displays various parameters. This allows a dive master to closely track each diver's status, depth and location.
Diver6 enables a dive master to create a dive plan that assists in the monitoring and management of diving operations. All monitoring aspects of the dive are recorded and can be used for later analysis and audit.
The system is based on input from a broad range of real-world subject matter experts including: US Navy SEALs, EOD, Salvage Divers, Coast Guard, public safety and commercial divers.
Azimuth Inc. is the engineering designer and manufacturer of hardware and software for the Diver6 System. Azimuth is an OEM for Teledyne Benthos.

3:45 – 4:15 pm TELEDYNE RESON
Thursday, Oct. 22
9:30 – 10:00 am SONARDYNE, INC
With offshore survey work moving to ever greater depths there is more demand to position subsea vehicles accurately and reliably at distances of up to 10km. At these ranges conventional USBL performance is limited by the surface ship noise which must be overcome by the highly attenuated acoustic signal emanating from the remote acoustic transponder affixed to the target a long way away. Adopting different signal frequencies, increasing transmitted source level, improvements to USBL receiver sensitivity, digital signal processing and beam focusing can all help improve range performance but there is now a more attractive option.
Placing an iUSBL transceiver on the subsea target instead of beneath the ship has the effect of removing it from the significant ship generated acoustic noise field. Since its local is environment is then much quieter and its motion more stable, overall system performance can be significantly improved.
10:15 – 10:45 am ENERGY SALES, INC
Underwater applications requiring the use of portable power face a number of significant challenges not experienced in batteries designed for terrestrial applications. The most daunting is the un-relenting effects of seawater pressure that will crush a traditional battery instantly. The solution generally requires the use of a pressure housing -- sometimes at great expense.
Energy Sales, Sunnyvale, California, in conjunction with the University of Washington’s School of Oceanography – Applied Physics Laboratory, is pleased to announce a pressure tolerant alkaline battery pack (oil filled in a PVC housing), has been designed and pressure tested to 10K (psig). For many applications this solution could a game changer, especially in the case of grant proposals.
Energy Sales will be presenting a 30 minute presentation on Thursday morning at 10:15 to introduce this new battery design. The presentation will consist of a slide show and question period introducing our new pressure tolerant alkaline battery pack.
