This technology features a uniquely designed suction head that eliminates problems typically experienced in alluvial diamond mining, mud, sewerage pumping, or dredging operations. This patented system offers a proven solution where no divers are required, and which can be operated from the deck of the ship in the shallow, mid-water, and deep-water operations for 24 hours a day — even on foul weather days.

The body of the mining head and valve is a casting, designed for the toughest of applications and abrasive gravel. The jet nozzle system cuts through clay, mud, and previously unobtainable conglomerated diamond gravel. Underwater lights, cameras, and sensors can be installed for night work and conditions of low visibility.
