Why first responders choose AquaEye

David Peterson Headshot

It’s all about early deployment. We have to give the person the best chance at living. That’s the most important part and I believe wholeheartedly that AquaEye adds so much to that.

We are going to be purchasing 2 more, one for each end of our island so they can be on scene as fast as possible.

AquaEye is a great tool. We had a particularly dangerous dive site when searching for someone who went over a bridge in the river this year. We sent in 3 divers on rotation and none of them were able to locate the victim. We had a boat running side scan and it didn’t locate the victim either. We put AquaEye in the water and got an X on the first scan. We then deployed the 4th diver on a boat to the spot AquaEye indicated as an X and the diver dropped down. The victim was right there. AquaEye hit it right on the head. It was perfect.

With AquaEye, rescuers can identify victims for the first time within seconds of being submerged underwater. This change in tactics can also have a positive impact on the safety of our dive team. The fewer the dive team members entering the water, the safer our team will be.

As far as I’m concerned, AquaEye is a must have for any municipality with open water exposure. From retention ponds to lakes and the like, this amazing device differentiates between a human being as opposed to other structures and items in the water. It dramatically speeds up the searching element of the operation, which subsequently reduces the exposure to the divers.

This product has decreased our average dive call response time from a 4+ hour operation with nothing but boat mounted sonar systems to closer to a 20 – 60 minute operation with AquaEyes and boat sonar systems being used in tandem with each other. When seconds and minutes count, AquaEye delivers!
