Our Capabilities
Accessing Remote Marine Sites
The Golden Shadow
The M/Y Golden Shadow is a 67-meter (220 ft) logistical support vessel that carries a Cessna Caravan Amphibious aircraft. One of the Golden Shadow’s most important assets is its stern elevator platform. This system is used to launch and recover the seaplane, as well as the various tenders. It has the capacity to lift up to 12 tons. The platform is also invaluable for diving access and recovery in difficult sea conditions. To ensure the safety of visiting divers, the Golden Shadow also has a recompression chamber capable of accommodating one casualty and one medic. Fully qualified medical staff members are present during all dive operations.
The Golden Eye
The Golden Eye is a Cessna Caravan 208 Amphibious Aircraft embarked aboard the Golden Shadow. The aircraft has tremendous endurance and can carry up to a maximum of 11 passengers and 2 pilots. We have often installed a sophisticated hyperspectral sensor on the Golden Eye to conduct remote sensing operations over shallow water coral reef ecosystems.
