Sealite Lights up the Wreck of the HMAS Canberra
Sealite Nautilus and Poseidon ocean buoys are marking the recently scuttled HMAS Canberra. Located off Barwon Heads in Victoria, the wreck is now a popular dive site and artificial reef.
Four Sealite Poseidon-1750 buoys and two Nautilus-2200 buoys have been positioned around the site, fitted with RF synchronization to clearly mark its perimeter.
In addition, the two Nautilus buoys are fitted with GPS & GSM monitoring – allowing proactive maintenance of the ATONs by monitoring lantern diagnostics such as battery condition, solar charging and buoy position. Parks Victoria asset managers can receive alarms and status reports direct to their cell phones, or daily updates via Sealite’s web portal.
The wreck was opened to the public as a dive site on 5 December 2009.
