ROV Buoyancy

Reliable buoyancy solutions for ROVs

Lightweight, strong, and engineered to dive deep

Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) demand exceptional buoyancy performance, durability, and resistance to harsh underwater conditions. Diab’s buoyancy foams and solutions, offer the optimal combination of high uplift, low density, and long-term strength, making them ideal for ROV flotation units.

Our closed-cell PVC foams are easy to machine and customize, ensuring precision fits for complex designs, while offering outstanding creep resistance and chemical durability. Whether operating at the surface or hundreds of meters below, our buoyancy foams help ROVs go further, last longer, and perform better.

For operations beyond 700 meters, all the way down to the seabed, we offer tailor-made buoyancy systems in syntactic foam through Subsea Composite Solutions, a dedicated division within Diab.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Diab’s buoyancy solutions ideal for ROVs?

Diab’s ROV buoyancy solutions combine high uplift, low density and long-term strength, helping ROVs operate reliably from the surface down to deepwater environments.

Which materials are used in Diab’s ROV buoyancy cores?

We use closed-cell PVC core materials and syntactic foams from Subsea Composite Solutions (SCS), engineered to deliver excellent buoyancy performance and durability in harsh underwater conditions.

Can Diab’s ROV buoyancy be customized for complex designs?

Yes. Our foams are easy to machine and customize, enabling precise fits for complex ROV geometries while maintaining high creep resistance and chemical durability.

To what depths can Diab’s ROV buoyancy systems operate?

Our solutions support ROVs from surface operations to hundreds of meters below. For missions beyond 700 meters, all the way down to the seabed, we offer tailor-made syntactic foam buoyancy systems through Subsea Composite Solutions.
