Data Vault Technology: Dominion Diving Launches New Product Into The Market

In this new age of fast advancing technology, the ability to acquire, store and transfer high quality digital data has progressed exponentially. However, as many have experienced, data retention is an ever present demon- particularly in harsh weather environments.

In the past, with classic VHS tapes, data retention was almost automatic. Subsequent to upgrading storage devices to DVD and hard drive formats, we instantly experienced data loss issues. As for most diving companies, lost data footage can be a very expensive mistake.

“The systems we were working with were simply not meeting our needs, and it was critical that a solution be established” says Shawn MacPhail, Operations Manager at Dominion Diving Limited. “Our main focus was immediately directed to 110V power loss or interruptions and superficial damages such as scratches, moisture, and temperature on the DVD’s.”

In conjunction with the Dalhousie University ID Lab, Dominion Diving developed a system which combined both old and new technology to produce a video system that was designed to offer a lifetime of unproblematic performance, functionality, and durability.

Beginning with the Alpha prototype and progressing to the final Beta Data Vault, Dominion Diving is proud to announce the launch of the DVT (Data Vault Technology) Underwater Video System.

Constructed from corrosion resistant materials, the DVT is set within a durable-waterproof Pelican case. The custom design integrates superior safety features which set it apart from similar products on the market. We have built-in a top of the line GFI (Ground Fault Indicator) to ensure additional safety for our system and divers. Additionally, the system has been outfitted with emergency overrides conforming to IMCA standards, USB and RCA video data ports, and thermal/luminous self resetting circuit protection switches.

Dominion Diving designed and manufactured the custom internal circuit board which accommodates a power supply system capable of operating a wide range of cameras. Our surface volume control system has been developed to allow for possible modifications under varying site conditions of the diver’s voice and topside tender, which is compatible with a visual LED meter that ensures captured audio. Data collected from the system is stored on mini DV tapes, minimizing the concern of scratching or deterioration over the years, and verifies a permanent record is kept.

Dominion Diving has completed assembly of four DVT systems. For any additional information, please contact Catherine Abbott at marketing@dominiondiving.com


Special thanks to Matt D’Entremont and his team at the Dalhousie ID Lab for their hard work for this project.

Deep Panuke Project Updates

Dominion Diving recently mobilized on onboard the vessel “RollingStone”, to complete the remaining subsea work for the natural gas development–The Deep Panuke Project.

Over the next five weeks, Dominion Diving will be working with Tideway to provide free fly ROV services for the ‘Deep Panuke Rock Placement Project’. The scope of work will involve rock dumping along the export pipeline, the flow lines, spud cans, and the production platform itself.

The FFROV will be required to carry out pre and post rock dump inspections using a variety of specialized survey equipment

Dominion Victory Conquers Offshore Nova Scotia

Dominion Diving is pleased to announce the successful completion of Multi Beam and ROV Surveys for EnCana’s Deep Panuke PFC Placement Project.

The Dominion Victory, a 90 foot support vessel, was subcontracted by Fugro GeoSurveys Inc, to supply ROV and vessel charter services for SBM’s preliminary analysis of the Deep Panuke Project which extended over a two week period.

Prior to the commence of this project, the Dominion Victory had undergone both regulatory and industry assessments by the CSNOPB, to obtain approval to work in the offshore - oil field environment.

For this job, Dominion Diving supplied a full marine crew including ROV pilots and technicians, along with survey personnel from Fugro and a client representative from SBM.

The scope of work involved using the Seabat 8125 multi beam sonar in conjunction with Dominion’s compact ROV, the Interceptor DX to perform seabed surveys.

The Dominion Victory also deployed and retrieved tide gauges and deployed a “wave rider” buoy to assist in weather forecasting.

Dominion Diving Goes Hollywood: Jesse Stone Production Filmed At Dartmouth Facilities.

The eighth instalment of the made-for-television movie, Jesse Stone: Benefit of the Doubt, starring Tom Selleck began production on May 20 in Halifax Nova Scotia. The series has been filmed in and around Nova Scotia since 2004 with locations across Halifax and Mahone Bay as the fictional Paradise Massachusetts.

Dominion Diving’s Marine Operations Terminal in Dartmouth was used as a base location for various scenes in the latest movie. Dominion was able to offer some of their towing resources by transporting a large abandoned vessel from across the harbor which was used in filming, a number of their floating barges and lighting equipment, and an assortment of nautical props.

President of Dominion Diving, Matthew Lohnes also tried his hand at acting when he operated a Cigarette boat for an action scene with the evil villain. Actor, director Tom Selleck kept a fast pace with his guns a-blazing. Also on site, Bobby Carradine, known for his role in the Lizzie McGuire show and Return of The Nerds, kept everyone’s spirits alive with humor despite the poor weather during the crews visit.

Although Dominion Diving has worked with this film crew on previous movie shoots, including the removal of a sunken car driven off the cliff at the “Ovens”, they still take pleasure in the interesting challenges and opportunities which it presents. “This is a completely different kind of work for us”, says Shawn MacPhail, Operations Manager at Dominion Diving. “We welcome the opportunity to work within different natures of business, and provide our professional services to new and old clients alike.
