AQUAEYE is trusted by leading rescue agencies around the world
AQUAEYE is revolutionizing the field of water rescue by equipping first responders with advanced handheld sonar technology designed to save lives and enhance responder safety. Founded as VodaSafe in 2014 by Carlyn Loncaric, a former lifeguard and engineer, AquaEye was born from a deep understanding of the life-or-death urgency faced during water rescues. This mission has driven the company to create intuitive, portable sonar solutions that empower rescuers to act faster and more effectively in high-pressure scenarios. Mission & Purpose
At its core, AquaEye exists to support firefighters, lifeguards, police, and rescue teams with tools that bridge the gap between traditional search methods and modern innovation. Every feature of AquaEye’s products are designed with a single purpose: to make water rescues safer, faster, and more successful.
AQUAEYE SONAR SYSTEM
LARGE SEARCH AREA
With AQUAEYE, up to 8000 square meters of the water surface can be searched and assessed in less than 5 minutes. AQUAEYE is a tool for first responders that helps you coordinate your rescue forces. By first surveying the situation underwater, you can direct your rescuers to the location where a potential victim has been identified by AQUAEYE
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AQUAEYE uses Artificial Intelligence to decide which echoes match those of a human body and displays the position of potential victims on the screen. Distance, direction, and approximate depth can be determined and used to brief rescue professionals. Additional information about the situation can be obtained from the sonar raw data display – EchoMap
RESCUE AND RECOVERY
It is not always possible to save a victim alive. AQUAEYE increases these chances, but it is no guarantee to save someone alive. Nevertheless, AQUAEYE can and is used not only for rescue but also for the search and recovery of victims.
SONARTECHNICS
AQUAEYE transmits a sonar pulse to a depth or distance of 50 meters and evaluates the returning echo using state-of-the-art AI-assisted sonar technology. AQUAEYE marks potential victims with an X and targets that are not clearly identified but have a high chance of being a victim with an O.
LOW OPERATING COSTS
AQUAEYE is built to keep your costs down. However, it is not only the pure purchase of the device that has to be taken into account but also the savings that are possible by operating the device throughout your organization. In particular, the TCO Total Cost of Ownership must be taken into account. AQUAEYE is built in such a way that it is stable and durable on the one hand and suitable for many different application scenarios on the other.

TEAM SAFETY
With the AQUAEYE portable rescue sonar device, rescuers can identify potential victims for the first time within seconds of being submerged in water. This change in search tactics in water rescue can have a positive impact on the safety of your rescue team because water is often a dangerous place. Therefore, the fewer rescuers have to enter the water, the safer you are and the fewer resources you need. These facts are especially important in the aftermath of a natural disaster
RESOURCE-EFFICIENT
By speeding up the search, AQUAEYE can help significantly reduce the time your team spends in the water. Rescue teams can be guided to the scene of the incident in a targeted and accurate manner. Efficient use of your resources is important because teams that are in a single location during a lengthy water rescue or recovery cause resource bottlenecks that can lead to longer response times at other search locations and more man-hours.
GOOD READABILITY
The operation of AQUAEYE is kept very simple and the device is quickly ready for use. The screens are backlit and offer high contrast and are readable even underwater. The operation and interpretation of the AQUAEYE search results should be practiced but after about 2 hours of training, you will achieve high-quality results in complex scenarios.
SONAR SCANNING IN DETAIL
It is not always possible to get close enough to rocks with the expensive side scan sonar. Or you have to worry about using it in the harbor between the many obstacles. It may also be unwise to deploy such a sonar under a pier. This is where AQUAEYE comes in, ideal for searching, rescuing, or recovering victims in such places.
