Dolphin 3
Product descripton: Dolphin 3 by OceanAlpha
The Dolphin 3 is a smart, self-propelled water rescue device, also known as a remote-control lifebuoy.
The Dolphin 3 enables rescuers to save swimmers without entering the water by operating it remotely from shore or a boat.
A swimmer in distress can lie on the device and be carried safely back to shore.
The Dolphin 3 marks a quantum leap in lifesaving technology, engineered to solve a key limitation of traditional life rings: their inability to reach targets accurately—reaching distressed swimmers up to 3× faster than even Olympic-level athletes.
