Introducing the Upgraded POD: A Stainless Steel Bastion

To ensure the POD's integrity, we've transitioned to using Stainless Steel for its main enclosure. This upgrade isn't just about aesthetics—it's a commitment to durability. Stainless Steel, known for its strength and resistance to corrosion, now protects the house battery, GNSS card, iridium modem, and all other electronics housed within the POD. The choice of material reflects our dedication to quality and longevity, ensuring that the Sharkbuoy can withstand the toughest conditions at sea.

Connectivity and Operation Under the Waves

Connectors are the lifelines for any marine equipment—they need to resist pressure, salt, and wear. Our upgrade extends to these critical components as well; we've shifted to Subsea Connectors, designed to maintain a flawless connection even when submerged. Moreover, switches and lights have been rated for subsea use, guaranteeing performance when it matters most.

The Result: Trustworthy Performance Below the Surface

With these upgrades, the Sharkbuoy POD isn't just built to last—it's engineered to excel in its marine duties. Users can deploy our buoys with confidence, knowing that the heart of the Sharkbuoy is encased in a shell as tough as the creatures it's named after. The extra investment translates into peace of mind, knowing that the buoys you put to work are not only robust but also equipped to deliver reliable performance, dive after dive.

Sharkbuoy POD: A Leap in Durability and Reliability

Just as we evolved the Sharkbuoy II's frame for unmatched resilience, the heart of our buoy—the POD—has undergone a significant transformation. Initially housing essential components within a standard enclosure, we recognized the need for a fortress to safeguard the buoy's vital organs against the harsh marine environment.
