SDL-1 (Submersible Diver Lockout)

SDL-1 was developed for the Canadian Navy in 1971 by International Hydrodynamics Corporation of Vancouver, BC. The hull is the sister hull to Beaver IV, developed by Rockwell International.

In 1983-4, ISE Research completed a major overhaul and conversion of the vehicle. Some of the more significant improvements included:

• conversion to brushless DC thrusters
  
• addition of lateral and vertical thrusters
  
• addition of large viewing port
  
• improvement in command sphere layout
  

ISE Research has conducted overhauls of the SDL-1 in 1987-8, 1991-2 and 1995-6.

SDL-1 is based in Halifax, NS and operated from the Canadian Navy ship HMCS Cormorant. The photo above shows the SDL being recovered onboard the HMCS Cormorant.
