Dolphin 1 | Remote Controlled Lifebuoy

World Leading Unmanned Water Surface Vehicle Solution

Rossbro is proud to be the exclusive Canadian distributor for the Dolphin1, an unmanned water rescue unit that is designed to supplement existing rescue equipment. Manufactured by Oceanalpha, the Dolphin1 is an unmanned remote control buoy that provides surface water rescue teams with another option when required, particularly in situations where there is no access due to rough or high shorelines, which reduces access to rescue boats.

The Dolphin-1 Plus is the updated version of the Dolphin-1, and it is designed to be used in conjunction with existing water rescue equipment rather than as a replacement. This provides water rescue teams with more opportunities to save lives in situations where traditional rescue methods are not possible or may be too dangerous. The Dolphin-1 Plus is ideal for rough waters, lakes, rivers, and shoreline rescues, and it is well-suited for fast river and lake rescues.

The Dolphin-1 is also incredibly versatile, and it can be used to deliver goods strapped to the stretcher unit or bring a rope to others on the shoreline or boats. It is equipped with a searchlight and speaker, and a camera is optional. This makes it an excellent tool for situations where it may be too dangerous to throw a lifeline with a buoy in rough currents, with the possibility of missing the intended target or accidentally hitting them with the thrown buoy. It can even be thrown down from bridges up to 30 feet high.

The Dolphin-1 is particularly effective in shoreline rescues, where it eliminates the need for rescuers to swim out to potential panicked individuals. This makes it a safer alternative for rescuers and ensures that those who require assistance can receive it quickly and efficiently. With the Dolphin1, water rescue teams in Canada now have an additional option for saving lives in difficult situations, and Rossbro is proud to be a part of this lifesaving technology.

IMPROVES OPERATIONAL SAFETY​

With the Dolphin 1, there is no need for rescuers to enter the water themselves. This eliminates risks such as panicked victims and adverse water conditions, which can lead to the rescuer becoming an additional victim.

EFFECTIVELY MAINTAIN VANTAGE POINT

The Dolphin stands out in the water due to its bright color and fog lights, which help ensure that the rescuer can keep sight of the victim and reduce the risk of losing them in difficult conditions. Its distinctive appearance also enables rescue missions to be carried out with greater safety, speed, and efficiency, making it an invaluable tool for water rescue teams.

PROFESSIONAL, BUT SIMPLE

Unlike jet skis or MOB boats, the Dolphin 1 is incredibly easy and straightforward to operate. It does not require certified personnel, making it a highly convenient tool when an urgent rescue mission arises.

COMPLIMENTARY TO OTHER ASSETS

Since every water rescue scenario is unique, it is essential that those responsible for rescue operations have access to a range of effective tools. This enables them to tailor their response to each situation and provide every potential victim with the quickest and safest rescue possible, increasing their chances of survival.
