The Dolphin 3 Remote-Controlled Lifebuoy by OceanAlpha is a cutting-edge smart rescue device designed to revolutionize water rescue operations. Engineered for rapid deployment and unmatched ease of use, the Dolphin 3 dramatically improves the speed, safety, and effectiveness of emergency response in water environments.
This self-propelled, remotely operated lifebuoy can reach speeds of up to 7 m/s, allowing it to quickly navigate toward victims, even in swift currents or challenging sea conditions. Its self-righting design ensures it remains upright and functional regardless of how it lands in the water, enhancing reliability during urgent situations.
Built with an integrated high-visibility warning light, the Dolphin 3 maintains optimal visibility during low-light conditions or in rough weather, supporting 24/7 rescue readiness. Its advanced remote controller enables intuitive one-handed operation and live video transmission, allowing rescuers to precisely navigate and monitor the lifebuoy’s progress.
The Dolphin 3 also provides 100% more buoyancy compared to conventional lifebuoys of the same size, increasing its capacity to support victims safely. Its tangle-free design helps prevent secondary injuries during rescue. Optional features such as wireless charging, a search light, and speaker system further enhance its utility.
Ideal for deployment from docks, vessels, or shorelines, the Dolphin 3 is widely used by coast guards, marinas, offshore platforms, and public safety agencies seeking to improve water rescue outcomes and minimize risks to human rescuers.
Reliable, fast, and highly maneuverable, the Dolphin 3 sets a new standard in remote water rescue technology.
