The company's initial development
was the Mini Rover, a low cost
remotely operated vehicle. DSSI has
since gone on to develop the Mini
Rover MK-2, the Sea Rover, and our
current MAX Rover MK-1, MK-2
and MK-3 series of vehicles for oper-
ation to 6,000 meters, with a full set
of accessories. Ten MAX Rovers have
been built. The company's newest
design is the Mini MAX Rover. The
Mini MAX is a scaled down version
of the MAX Rover, using the same
reliable constuction. It is offered as an
economical, basic function ROV suit-
able for the most rugged work envi-
ronments. Special projects have
included: technical support for the
filming of Titanica, Stephen Low's
IMAX 70 mm big-screen production
of the famous shipwreck; the
National Parks Service and National
Geographic Pearl Harbor Project,
using a DSSI Mini Rover MK-2 to
survey the sunken battleship Arizona
and search for a Japanese minisub
sunk during the attack Pearl Harbor.
