The next-generation Reach Digital Diver Camera System
Engineered for Depth. Designed for Clarity.
Professional-grade, diver-operated video, powered by Reach engineering. Now with all-new control software.
Dive cams built with Reach’s engineering DNA.
Commercial diving has long relied on improvised or diver-built camera systems. Practical, but rarely engineered with the discipline applied to solving complex, real-world technical problems.
The Reach Digital Diver Camera System brings that discipline to commercial diving: dependable HD imaging and lighting in the harshest conditions, so divers see what they need to see and operators hand clients records that hold up.
Engineered durability
Sapphire window, 6061-T6 aluminium housing, 300 m depth rating and impact-tolerant construction.
Field-ready simplicity
One connector for camera and light, intuitive controls and a setup measured in minutes, not dives.
Reliable documentation
Clear, stable video on a 17″ daylight-viewable display, with audio input for tender and supervisor narration.
All-new software, built for the dive station.
Every feed, light and recording on one touchscreen, each control a single tap away. Pick a feature to see it running.
Overview
A tour of the control software on the portable console.
Up to four divers. One screen.
Name each feed for the diver wearing it, then lay the dive out the way the supervisor needs to see it.
Glare or turbidity? One button each.
Wide Dynamic Range balances bright and dark areas of the image, cutting glare on reflective targets. Defog lifts contrast in dirty or turbid water. Use whichever the water calls for; the two run one at a time.
Detail you can put in a report.
Reach DDCS footage beside a competing diver camera, on the kind of structure your crews inspect every day.
Frames captured on comparable submerged structure under comparable conditions. Customer site details masked.
“The difference in image quality between the Reach System and competitor units is immediately noticeable. The enhanced detail allows our dive supervisors to interpret conditions more accurately and communicate underwater findings with divers in real time.”Justin Brendon · Underwater Specialist II, J.F. Brennan Company, Inc.

Better clarity. Better decisions. Better outcomes.
Dive operators depend on clear documentation to justify decisions, validate work and avoid re-dives. Their clients depend on accurate visual records for risk management and asset integrity.
The whole system, in one case.
Camera, light, tether, control module and touchscreen, packed to travel and ready to dive in about five minutes.
A 17-inch screen you can read on deck.
Daylight-viewable touchscreen, sized for a supervisor and a tender to watch together.
Up to four cameras at once.
The control module runs four concurrent camera feeds, each with its own light.
500 Gb on board.
Record straight to the console as .mkv video and .png stills, then move files off to a USB drive.
Narration built in.
An audio input takes comms or a headset, so commentary lands on the recording.
Packed to travel.
Everything rides in a Nanuk 940 case, 557 × 429 × 216 mm.
Full HD, behind sapphire.
A 1920 × 1080p camera in a 6061-T6 aluminium housing with a sapphire window, rated to 300 m. Sensitive down to 0.1 lux, with a 74° horizontal field of view underwater.

Up to 1,500 lumens, on your terms.
Variable LED output, set from the console. Camera and light share the same MCBH6M wet-mate connector, and either tether goes into either port on the controller. Fewer parts to match on deck, less to get wrong with cold hands.

Depth, temperature and heading, in line.
The optional sensor module adds depth, temperature and compass heading in line with any camera. Pair it with on-screen overlays so the context is right there in the frame.
Portable, or in your rack.
Self-contained in a rugged case: the 17″ daylight-viewable touchscreen, the control module for up to four concurrent cameras, 500 Gb of on-board storage and a keyboard for overlay text.

Bring your own PC. A rack-mount interface box with up to four tether connectors, audio input, a power switch with AC input and DC supply, and optional built-in Wi-Fi, connected over RJ45 or Wi-Fi. The Windows software gives full control and recording, and auto-detects cameras, lights and sensors.
- 4 tethersConnectors on the interface box
- RJ45 / Wi-FiTo the PC you already own
Helmet and mask mounts
Mounts for Kirby Morgan and other industry-standard helmets, plus a mask rail mount for hands-free work.
Pistol grip
A 1/4-20 UNC clasp for hand-held inspection work.
150 m tether
Camera and light tethers run to 150 m as standard.
Third-party tether adapter
Runs the DDCS on tether you already own from other manufacturers, and takes the standard run further.
Sacrificial Y-termination
An optional sacrificial termination takes the tether wear, so the expensive end doesn’t.
Five-minute setup
Connect, configure, record, hand off. The Quick Start Guide covers the whole spread.
