Oceanus floats

This unique product line was created to provide ‘off-the-shelf’ buoyancy units for use in all ocean depths.

They comprise a high performance low density composite foam buoyancy core encapsulated within a tough impact and abrasion resistant polyethylene shell and can be supplied in a variety of colours with optional moulded-in graphics.

To simplify the handling of Oceanus floats during deployment and recovery, each Oceanus features a pair of recessed lifting holes sized to accommodate ‘gloved hands’. The floats also incorporate a series of flat surfaces to assist on-board stability and facilitate close grouping as part of operation or storage.

The standard range of Oceanus floats covers four uplift capacities and six standard operating depths.
