JW Fishers has specialized in the design and manufacture of reasonably priced, high tech underwater search equipment for over 45 years. JW Fishers manufacturers hand held and boat towed metal detectors, marine magnetometers, underwater camera systems, ROVs, and side scan sonar.
Underwater Drop Video Cameras
JW Fishers offers a full line of underwater search equipment and stands behind every piece of equipment with a two-year warranty. JW Fishers has underwater video cameras specially designed for towed operation as well as drop with a wide range of options available.
JW Fishers offers a complete line of underwater video systems including a mini-cameras for helmet mounting, diver-held cameras, underwater drop video cameras to view the bottom, towed cameras, and two Remote Operated Video (ROV) systems. Each connected to the surface with an umbilical and capable of videotaping underwater objects.
- Dropped video system for checking dive sites and searching small areas. A dropped video system that includes: 0.5 lux low light high-resolution B&W camera, leak detector, two 100w lights, 150′ cable.
- On the DHC-2 built-in lighting system is operator selectable from zero to 200 watts of underwater lighting. The diver handle is removable, and the camera can be mounted to an underwater structure. Up to a 1,000 foot of cable sends the video picture to the surface.
- A low-cost mini video camera that sends its picture to the surface for viewing. Available with black & white or color cameras. An internal light ring is available which allows the camera to be deployed down a pipe or in very tight quarters.

Sonar
JW Fishers is a leading manufacturer of high-performance underwater search equipment, specializing in cutting-edge marine sonar systems designed for commercial, military, and search-and-rescue operations. Their professional-grade product line includes advanced side scan sonar systems, which utilize dual-frequency and CHIRP technology to rapidly map expansive sections of the ocean floor and deliver photographic-quality, two-dimensional images of shipwrecks, submerged vehicles, or evidence. For stationary or targeted operations, JW Fishers offers precision scanning sonar (such as the SCAN-650 sector scanning sonar), an ideal tool for localized search missions that generates highly detailed, 360-degree acoustic imagery from a stationary position or a remote operated vehicle (ROV). Additionally, their rugged sub-bottom profilers (like the SBP-1) emit low-frequency sound pulses that penetrate up to 130 feet into the seabed to identify buried pipelines, geological strata layers, and covered historical relics by detecting subterranean density changes. Marine professionals worldwide rely on these versatile JW Fishers sonar technologies to navigate challenging underwater visibility and achieve unmatched precision in subsea exploration.
For a visual overview of how these deep-water tracking technologies function in real-world environments, you can watch this JW Fishers Sub Bottom Profiler Demonstration, which highlights how the system reveals sub-surface density anomalies and buried artifacts beneath the seafloor.
