The footage was taken in Port La Nouvelle in Perpignan in France. Liquavision were doing a demonstration for JIFMAR Offshore Services (The leading operator of Multicats and Workboats in France) http://www.jifmar.com/ .

SeaBotix LBV Crawler

“We were approx 1 km off shore and we were there to test the SeaBotix LBV150SE-5 and LBC. We were able to identify debris on the sea bed (as per the pictures), we were also able to follow the line of the Pipe, fly over and around the Plem for inspection, and follow the length of the flex to the attaching head.

During the demonstration we fly down to the pipe and land. What we did not know is that this was the chosen resting place of an Octopus, who flew off in fright as we settled down, only to return and throw us off of his pipe.

The demonstration was a good success we feel and well worth the trip to France.”
