What is the OCEAN EYE?
Ocean Eye 4K is the world’s first “deluxe lite” industrial-level 3D underwater drone, it is also a 2023 Reddot Award winner and a new addition to the family of YoucanRobot drones, which include BW Space Pro Max, BW Space Pro, BW Space Pro Zoom and Dive Master. Just like flying drones, this underwater drone performs a similar function and is able to do, practically, what flying drones do in the air. Underwater drones are unlocking a whole new world beneath the surface for sub sea exploration, underwater cinematography and fishing. There are a few underwater drones to choose from and it all depends on what you want to achieve. If you are looking for an all around drone that can be competitive against the competition then check out the Ocean Eye!

What you need to know before you buy your Ocean eye?
Light only penetrates the ocean to a visible quality to about 200m and the deepest human scuba dive on record is only 332.35 m (1,090 ft. 4.5 in).
Underwater drones have been used in subsea exploration and missions since the 1950s known as ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), UUVs (unmanned underwater vehicles) or AUVs (automated underwater vehicles).

In the face of corrosive seawater, the ROV’s eight propellers are fully sealed to ensure durability and have a life span of 2,000 hours. The gizmo is IP68 waterproof, meaning it is insulated against dust and withstands being submerged in water.
It sinks to a maximum depth of 100m under sea and is remotely controlled via mobile phone, tablet or remote control. The ROV pilot is able to access real-time graphic information sent through a cable on multiple devices.
As a ROV meant for industrial application, Oceaneye can be fitted with several tools, including an optional robotic arm, sample collector or camera, to become versatile in carrying out different operations.
