The Nautiloid Inspired Probe is a conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sensor that targets the oceanographic probe market. Many of the probes on the current market are expensive and non-reusable. Our solution provides a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and still accurate alternative. The probe can be deployed up to 100 meters underwater with automatic resurfacing capabilities due to our weight drop mechanism. Bluetooth functionality through our Android phone application allows for seamless data transferring after a data collection cycle is completed. The probe boasts energy efficiency with the ability to last multiple deployments on the same battery cycle.
