Landers Custom built platforms for the delivery of scientific instruments to the seafloor
Landers Can also be used to tow and place arrays on the seafloor
Current Landers Designed for ECOGIG to replace the older, larger landers. The new landers have a much smaller footprint and do not require a ROV to be recovered.
