the supplier of research, surveillance and diving equipment, and also
as a project supporter to explore the sea in all its phases. After halfa century of exploration, the working of nature is still full ofmysteries.
Yet, we have come to a ﬁrm conviction through experience that thesea opens up itself to an approach built upon wisdom andelaboration. It begins to talk to us. Easy concession has no place
above, under or at the bottom of the sea. With this conviction as ourbusiness guideline, we procure only the best equipment and systemsof the time from around the world. The sourced products are thencustomized carefully to meet the speciﬁc waters and purposes ofactivities. The company also plays a role of a product developer by
providing feedback for the manufacturer about the market needs
and how their products may be improved.
We believe that it is a mission of mankind to consistently challenge
the mysteries of the ocean and reveal them toward the goal of using
waters eﬃciently and exploring the road to coexistence. This is why
we have the best scientiﬁc approach at all times that will help us
convey the feeble voice of the ocean to the future.

Adding to the conventional underwater systems,
new formations have been developedthat enhance anti-terrorism
and risk management measures.
In addition to the conventional underwater systems, wehave available the state-of-the-art underwater acoustic
communication, diving and other systems. The bestsystems are chosen to meet the customer’s speciﬁcneeds and Nippon Kaiyo’s underwater systems have been
admired by specialists engaged in disaster prevention,
coastal security, port construction, journalism and otherindustries. Yet, we are living today in the age ofgrowing risks best describable by such keywords as“anti-terrorism”and“risk management.”
