We manufacture the world’s most reliable, versatile & powerful underwater ROVs
For more than 30 years our innovative advancements in underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROV) have changed the way the world sees the deep. SEAMOR Marine traces its roots to 1989, when our first-gen underwater drone technology was developed. New ownership in 2006 significantly evolved the robotics of our next-gen vehicles, expanding the limits of work and exploration in some of the ocean’s most dangerous conditions. For decades our ROVs have inspired learning, growth, and the protection of precious life-sustaining resources.
Our manufacturing facilities are located in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
Our ROVs operate on every continent and in every major body of water around the globe.

Keeping the Power & Water on
Our industry-proven ROVs help with the construction, inspection and maintenance of vital infrastructure that supports civilization. Their cameras and underwater tools allow crews to safely work on pipelines, reservoirs and dams that supply drinking water and electricity to families like yours.
Assisting in Search & Rescue Efforts
When accidents happen, forensic specialists use our ROVs or what some call s underwater drone in the search and recovery of missing people, vehicles, and equipment. Acoustic search capabilities on our search vehicles provide visibility in murky conditions and minimize diver risk. Conducting meaningful work that reunites families and friends or brings closure after an accident.
Protecting Marine Habitats
Scientists use our ROVs to go as deep as 600 meters for extended periods to observe and protect marine habitats. Our underwater research vehicle technology empowers university and government research teams. With the ability to conduct underwater surveys, coral reef studies, aquaculture inspections, and shipwreck investigation.
Inspiring Industry Innovation
As an industry leader with a global network of underwater drone dealers and clients, SEAMOR Marine is a hub of information for our clients and dealers. The open exchange of information and experience inspires innovation within the entire industry and drives the creation of new tools and features.
Designing for Eco-sustainability
Our observation-class ROVs perform work in the marine field to help protect and preserve our environment, and therefore we feel it is our natural responsibility that they are designed with sustainability in mind. Our modular systems are designed to be maintained and repaired, rather than using throw-away components. SEAMOR ROVs run on electricity efficiently enough to operate on renewable energy storage systems in the field rather than traditional gasoline generators.

“We have completed many inspections so far. The video is incredible, especially in the potable water conduits we were inspecting! The Chinook system works great, very impressed with the fit and finish of the system. Our clients and the consulting engineers were very impressed, too. SEAMOR is first rate in communications, all the staff, including the owner, Director & President, Robin, makes time for you to answer any questions you have no matter when you inquire.”

“We drive the SEAMOR ROVs pretty hard – hundreds of hours per year – and they have performed well for us over a long period of time. They can handle all types of marine and freshwater environments and have the added benefit of high resolution imagery, intuitive control and great portability.”

“The SEAMOR Steelhead ROV has performed beyond our expectations. The power and stability of the vehicle allows for a very precise and fluid inspection. The video camera is high quality with a very good field of view and the rear camera is invaluable when performing tunnel inspections. During our recent project the Steelhead pulled its 1,640’ tether easily with no operational effects to the vehicle”.

SEAMOR Marine has been designing and developing ROVs for a decade. Over this time, we have prototyped and successfully launched several different models and iterations of our ROVs. We are proud to showcase our previous designs to demonstrate what we’ve done and how our ROVs have evolved over the years.
The Mako is SEAMOR Marine’s newest ROV. With a large open frame design and versatile mounting options, this vehicle can carry a variety of accessories and has the power capacity to run them all at once. The Mako’s payload (14 kg standard, upgradable to 22.5 kg) allows users to install heavy instrumentation, including multi-beam imaging sonars.

This ROV incorporates 1080p high definition video and a custom float paint scheme to match the colours of the client’s existing equipment as it is being used in public educational display.
This design was a proof-of-concept miniature ROV system employing electronics that were the precursors to the newly-revised electronics currently used in the Steelhead and Chinook models
This ROV was a custom system built using side frames machined out of single pieces of marine-grade plastic. This system also had Ethernet on board for an imaging sonar.
This unique system was developed to be towed behind a boat, while retaining vertical/lateral thrusters for maneuvering at the end of its towline.
Miniature ROV designed with titanium parts and all-metal body construction as a prototype for corrosive environments.
