AquaWiz — Underwater R&D Team

The deep sea,within reach.

Make the unseen visible.
Observe to understand.
Observe to protect.

We want underwater monitoring within reach.
That's what we are building.

Underwater environments change quietly.That is why we need continuous monitoring, not one-off surveys.We believe expanding observation points is essential.

More observations deepen understanding.Deeper understanding creates better choices.AquaWiz builds the tools to make that possible.

Core systems

  • 01

    Autonomous Buoyancy

    Buoyancy control with CO₂ and solenoid valves. Quieter and more energy-efficient than motor drives, enabling long deployments at realistic cost.

  • 02

    AI Vision System

    We treat video as ecological data, not just recordings. Automated fish detection and classification reduce operational load.

  • 03

    Connected Intelligence

    LTE on surfacing shares GPS position and observation data. A web console shows status to reduce field uncertainty.

  • 04

    Precision Sensing

    Temperature ±0.1°C / Depth ±2mm / 4K HDR visuals. Core performance tuned to capture environmental change.

From vehicles to infrastructure.

We are not building vehicles alone.
We are building underwater observation infrastructure where data accumulates and becomes comparable.

A small team, tested in the field.

We are a small team. That is why we test in the field, not just on paper. Build it, dive it, fix it, dive again. We believe trust is earned through that cycle.
