Inspired by frustration and driven to innovate —Carlyn Loncaric, our founder and CEO, created AquaEye to address a critical gap in water rescue. As a lifeguard there was no technology to help her find someone if they went under the water. She created AquaEye - which unlike traditional tools focused on recovery or fishing, is a handheld sonar designed for immediate deployment, enabling first responders to rapidly locate missing individuals in the water.

AquaEye® - The First of Its Kind Search and Rescue Product.
About us
Vodasafe provides modern methods for water based search and rescue through easily accessible, hand-held scanning sonar devices. Current waterfront rescue methods are archaic, slow to deploy and prone to error. Water clarity makes waterfront rescue extremely difficult and time consuming and in rescue, every second counts. The AquaEye® is an advanced underwater scanner, using the latest in ultrasound and artificial intelligence technologies to identify human bodies underwater. It is our one of a kind product which changes everything with the potential to save hundreds more lives each year; it’s easy to use, only requires one rescuer to operate and displays visual representation of the search area within seconds, allowing users to locate their victims immediately. Mission: Modernize current water based rescue technologies for search and rescue, emergency responders, lifeguards, and recreational users to aid in lifesaving and victim recovery.

What does a car look like on AquaEye's echo map? Phill had an opportunity to show us what a car looks like on echo map at a car recovery class taught by Buck Buchanan at the Mid-Atlantic Public Safety Diver's Forum last month in Virginia. AquaEye has been used to locate missing cars previously and Buck teaches the use of it for that purpose in his class.
