Diver Delivery
Shark Marine's Diver Delivery Systems are second to none. Our Mako D.D.S. is the first and only of its kind, a sled with full autonomous and station keeping abilities able to carry a wide range of sonars and other sensors.
Mako
The MAKO DDS Marks a New Evolution in Diver Transportation by Combining a Propulsion Device with the Shark Marine “Navigator”, Diver Held Navigation and Sonar Imaging System. The Combination Provides a System that is Capable of Automated Flight Paths, From a Simple “Goto Target” to Complex Survey Routes, While Providing the Diver with full Navigation and Forward Looking Sonar to View and Locate Targets up to 300m (984ft ) Away.
* The MAKO can be flown in Manual, Semi-Autonomous and Full Autonomous Modes.
* Unlike Standard Diver Propulsion Vehicles The MAKO uses Vertical Thrusters that Allow it to Adjust Its Pitch / Roll and Maintain Depth While Stationary

Options
Folding GPS Mast
The Folding GPS Mast allows the MAKO to obtain a GPS fix while operating just under the surface.
Battery Pod
The MAKO uses Hot-Swappable, Neutrally Buoyant Battery Pods. The Batteries are 48 VDC NiMH. Each battery pair will run the MAKO for up to 70 minutes @ 2 kts depending on attached equipment. The MAKO can carry 4 pods internally and 2 pods mounted on the external frame. Battery life will increase greatly at lower speeds.
Battery Pod Mounts
These Mounts are required to attach MAKO Battery Pods to the exterior frame, Sold as a pair.
Wheels
These Wheels quickly attach / detach from the MAKO’s frame making easier to move while on land
Shipping Container
Aluminum shipping crate designed to ship or store the MAKO DDS.
LED Lights
A 6 LED Lighting Kit for the MAKO DDS designed to reduce backscatter.
Notes / Disclaimer
*Buoyancy approximately neutral in water, adjustable with ballast weights.
**Batteries can be hot swapped under-water, additional batteries can be carried or placed along route.
***Range and battery duration will increase at lower thrust.
