Updates
It has been a little while since our last
newsletter. As you will see in this issue a
lot has happened in that time.
Some of you may have noticed Shark
Marine has revamped our website. Our
goal with this new site was to make it easier
for our customers to navigate and keep up
to date. We will be adding new content
and announcements regularly so be sure to
check back often, any feedback you have on
the new site is also welcome.
Shark Marine’s design team has been busy
enhancing our existing products and
creating some new ones such as the Dive
Tablet, EagleRay, Sea Wolf 5 and Barracuda
ROV. Shark Marine has also recently
become a reseller for Thermalution’s line
of heated Undersuits. There is some more
information on all of these products below.
...
EagleRay
The EagleRay is a portable propulsion
system that can be quickly added to the
Navigator. The EagleRay’s small size and
light weight make it easy to manoeuver
while searching for targets using the
Navigators sonar, or keeping on course

with its Track screen. Its powerful
thrusters cut through current putting less
strain on the diver and allowing them to
cover a large area in a small amount of
time. Saving air, time, and possibly lives.
...
Sea-Wolf 5
Sea-Wolf 5 in 4 thruster configuration
Shark Marine is proud to announce the
newest addition to our ROV lineup, the
Sea-Wolf 5. Staying true to its roots the
new Sea-Wolf is rugged, reliable and
powerful. The Sea-Wolf 5 is also the
most versatile ROV its size, available
with a 4 thruster or 6 vectored thruster
configuration maximising maneuverability,
a high payload capacity with a modular
floatation system making it easy to add
even more additional equipment. The
Sea-Wolf 5 isn’t just one of the easiest
ROVs on the market to fly, it will actually
fly itself. Shark Marines Total Navigation
System and DiveLog software can guide the
Sea-Wolf 5 along 3D survey routes or back
to known targets and even hold station
allowing the operator to focus his attention
on the vehicles sensors or operation of the
manipulator arms. Upon completion of the
project DiveLog will even generate a report
showing areas covered by each sensor, and
details on any marked targets or objects
of interest including screenshots, and
segments of the video or sonar files.

Demos
...
The Dive Tablet is an affordable
solution for anyone that requires
accurate underwater positioning.
Using advanced dead reckoning or
gps Dive Tablet allows operators to
map underwater habitats, document
archaeological sites, take geo
referenced photos and video, or simply
navigate underwater. Dive Tablets
small size and rugged construction
makes it a good fit for use on RHIBs
and other surface vessels where it can
be used for navigation, or to track and
communicate with divers using Shark
Marine’s Sub-NET System.
...
Shark Marine’s MAKO DDS on site in Austria
Over the past two years Shark Marine
has participated in Experience Week,
a hands on equipment demonstration
and trial hosted by our distributer
in Austria, Outer Limits. In 2015
we are looking forward to once
again participating in Austria, and
also holding two demos in North
America, one on each coast. For more
information on demos in your area or
to request specific equipment please

Shark Marine Named
one of Canada’s
Top 50 Defence
Companies
Shark Marine Technologies Inc.,
named one of the top 50 Defence
Companies in Canada, is listed in
Canadian Defence Review Magazine’s
April 2015 issue.
Honored to be recognized for contributions to the defence industry, Shark
Marine Technologies Inc. continues

to develop subsea systems specifically
for EOR / EOD and MCM operations
as well as first responders, designed
to make challenging and difficult
tasks safer for the Men and Women
of the Military that place themselves
in harm’s way. Products range from
Remotely Operated Vehicles, “The
Navigator” Diver Held Sonar Imaging
and Navigation System, “The Mako
Diver Delivery System” and more.
The basic systems would consist of
Side-Scan Sonar, Pole Mounted Sonar,
our Navigator Diver Held Navigation
and Sonar Imaging System and such
accessories as metal detection equipment. Having the right equipment to
conduct searches in difficult and challenging circumstances is important,
but having the knowledge on how to
conduct these searches efficiently and
safely is the key element.
Canadian Defence Review is Canada’s
leading defence and military journal.
The training consists of a 3 day program involving both classroom and
field operations. Trainees will obtain
skills on how to assess the situation
to determine the proper equipment
for the application and how to properly use that equipment to expedite
the search, improve their success rate
and more importantly increase the
safety for the divers. Our software
and equipment interoperability is the
key to having an efficient and effective search. Trainees that complete
the course will then be able to rent
the equipment needed and in most
cases we can make it available at your
facility the next day. Another benefit
to our program is having access to our
experts with a simple telephone call.
The Training is done at our facility in
St.Catharines, Ontario. If you cannot
come to us we can conduct the training at your facility.

Search and Recovery
Technical Equipment
Support Program
Realizing that many search and
recovery organizations have budget
restraints and may not be able to afford
or justify owning the technical equipment required to expedite a search and
recovery operation and also to provide
enhanced safety and situational awareness to the divers, Shark Marine Technologies Inc. has developed a program
to assist anyone providing search and
recovery services.
The program is designed to train SAR
personnel on how to use this equipment for both large and small area
searches and then have this equipment
quickly available for their missions.
At Shark Marine Technologies Inc., we
believe this program meets a need in
the Search and Recovery community
by assisting users with a more effective
and efficient search yielding enhanced
results.
Barracuda
Shark Marine is proud to intoduce our
latest ROV The Barricuda. Designed
with a focus on search and recovery
and target reaquisition in mind, the
Barracuda is lightweight, easy to
deploy, and loaded with advanced
capabilities.
The Barracuda was built around Shark
Marine’s Total Navigation System
(TNS) and operates on our DiveLog
software. This gives the Barracuda full
geodetic positioning and autonomous
capabilities. Operators need only tell
the Barracuda which target to approach or which survey route to follow
and the ROV handles the rest.
Having a geodetic position also means
all video and sonar data is GeoReferenced for evidence gathering or
mosaicking.
Not only is the Barracuda smart
enough to hunt down targets, it’s
streamlined design and powerfull
thrusters ensure that it will reach
them.
