Overview

One of the first autonomous camera drones for scuba divers. It tracks and films a diver without a tether and resurfaces on its own if it loses the signal. The Indiegogo campaign launched on April 20, 2016, and shipping began in March 2019. After Delair acquired Notilo Plus in December 2022, sales of new iBubble drones were suspended. The tech lives on in the professional Seasam drone.
