Overview

A compact professional underwater drone that can run as a normal tethered ROV or untethered, when it can autonomously track and follow a diver or another vehicle. It comes from the maker of the consumer iBubble diver-following camera and targets ship-hull, infrastructure and search-and-rescue inspections. Drone company Delair bought Notilo Plus in January 2023 and now sells it under the Delair Marine name.
