Hydrographic surveying demands precision instruments that perform reliably on the water, in all conditions. Whether you’re charting waterway depths, monitoring sediment, managing dredging operations, or conducting coastal surveys, the equipment you choose directly affects the quality and accuracy of your data. Geomatics Gear’s Marine category offers a focused selection of professional-grade hydrographic solutions from South Surveying & Mapping Instrument — a trusted name in geomatics instrumentation used by survey professionals around the world.

At the core of this lineup are the South SDE-28S+ and South SDE-260D single-beam echosounders. These instruments are designed for bathymetric data collection in rivers, lakes, harbours, reservoirs, and coastal environments. Single-beam echosounders deliver reliable depth measurements along a vessel’s track line and are the standard tool for a wide range of hydrographic survey projects, from routine depth monitoring to detailed bottom profiling. The SDE series is built to integrate with GNSS positioning systems, allowing surveyors to collect precisely georeferenced depth data that meets professional standards for accuracy and repeatability.

Completing the Marine lineup is the South SL20, a hydrographic data collection controller purpose-built for field use on the water. Rugged, portable, and designed to work seamlessly with echosounders and GNSS receivers, the SL20 simplifies data logging and real-time display so your crew can focus on running efficient survey lines rather than managing equipment. Its intuitive interface reduces the learning curve for new operators while giving experienced hydrographers the control they need.

Together, these three instruments cover the core workflow for single-beam hydrographic surveying: positioning, depth measurement, and data collection — all from manufacturers known for building reliable, field-ready equipment at honest prices.
