Flotation Products

Teledyne Benthos is the world’s leading manufacturer of deep sea glass spheres, used to provide buoyancy to underwater products and systems and to house underwater instruments and electronics. A revolutionary concept when introduced to the world in 1969, deep sea glass spheres have become commonplace in seas throughout the globe.

Superior to all other types of flotation devices and instrument housings, deep sea glass spheres are transparent, lightweight, inexpensive, corrosion resistant, easily handled, and non-polluting. And they are extraordinarily strong. A sphere made of glass is in pure compression when under water. The deeper it goes the stronger it gets.
