Selected Projects

25 years of work on the water

Indepth Marine has been operating on the BC coast and beyond since 2000. A selection of past projects — full case study index coming soon.

ROV OPERATION · PROJECT IMAGE
ROV · Salvage · Kelowna, BC

Aircraft Salvage — 260ft Lake Recovery

A water bomber sank to 260ft in an Okanagan lake following a firefighting accident. WorkSafe BC restricted diver access at that depth. Indepth Marine deployed the Seaeye Falcon ROV to rig the aircraft using the manipulator arm, raising it to 20ft where a dive team completed the lift. Transportation Safety Board of Canada directed the operation on site.

Whale Watching Vessel Recovery — 160ft

A whale watching vessel sank in 160ft of water following an accident; all passengers evacuated safely. Indepth Marine used ROV-mounted sonar to locate the wreck, then conducted a full survey to guide the dive team on rigging attachment points. The ROV provided real-time visibility for Transportation Safety Board and Coast Guard representatives throughout the operation. Covered by CBC.
