JW Fishers Mfg., Inc.

JW Fishers Mfg., Inc. designs and manufactures underwater search equipment for a wide range of underwater work. The company's product line spans hand held metal detectors, boat towed metal detectors, cable tracking systems, pingers and pinger receivers, transponders and interrogators, sonar systems, remote operated vehicles, remote metal detectors, underwater camera systems, and accessories. It offers a Sub Bottom Profiler as well, and its sonar range covers side scan sonar and scanning sonar. Together, those products serve the location of submerged objects, the survey of underwater ground, and search and recovery work in difficult underwater environments. The company serves multiple markets and application areas, and the same equipment often crosses between them. Law enforcement and fire rescue teams, first responders, defense users, and civil inspection professionals all use its equipment, as do industries such as science and research, shipping and salvage, wreck diving and treasure hunting, offshore oil and gas, and hydroelectric operations. Use cases run to identifying drowning persons, missing evidence, dumped vehicles, shipwrecks, and submerged hazards, and further to underwater inspections, pipeline work, and infrastructure assessment. Commercial diving operations, public safety dive teams, military units, and recreational divers make up further audiences for the range. Distinctive elements of the equipment include a focus on simple operation, portability, reliability, and construction that withstands demanding underwater conditions. The company favours tools that help locate submerged objects quickly while cutting the need for divers to work in dangerous conditions. Its sonar products give crews a way to search large areas efficiently or to inspect smaller areas with high-resolution imagery, while its camera systems deliver live video to the surface for viewing and recording. The company offers a complete line of underwater video systems, and it claims the most complete line of underwater search products available from any single manufacturer. A 2 year warranty accompanies its products, part of the same emphasis on reliability that runs through the whole range.
