Lampris Scientific Grade Depth & Temperature Sensor
Lampris, the Succorfish Depth & Temperature Sensor, is a compact, fully wireless device built with high-precision Keller sensor technology. Lampris uses high-frequency data logging to deliver dependable depth and temperature measurements even in the harshest and most remote marine environments.
The Lampris has not been designed in isolation by engineers, but has been shaped from the beginning by divers and fishing operators working in the abalone industry of Victoria, Australia.
It is a truly groundbreaking depth and temperature sensor that removes the need for manual logging and provides reliable and accurate data, no matter how remote the location.
The fully sealed, cable-free design with Qi wireless charging and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity makes the Lampris a low-maintenance, low-cost depth and temperature measurement solution. Beyond compliance data, for divers this means simple effort reporting and for operators it provides essential decision-making data to identify productive areas, understand seasonal patterns and build a compliance record.

How the Lampris Depth and Temperature Sensor Works
- Attach and Identify: The Lampris can be attached to divers or fishing gear such as pot strings. Either way, the device id is assigned on the interface.
- Connection: Lampris connects via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) either to a mobile device running the Lampris App, or directly to the SC2 Gen 3.
- Entering the Water: Gear-in events are recorded when the Lampris enters the water and loses BLE connection. When this happens, location, timestamp, depth and temperature are logged.
- During Submersion: Whilst the diver or fishing gear is submerged beneath the water, the Lampris is continually logging depth and temperature.
- Leaving the Water: When the diver or gear is retrieved, a gear-out event is recorded as the Lampris reconnects to either the mobile device or SC2 via BLE. At this point, data from whilst the device was submerged is synced to the dataset, along with gear-out location and timestamp.
- The Data: Depth and temperature can be viewed alongside location and timestamp in Lampris’s easy to use interface, by divers, operators or compliance teams, in a map view, log view or via CSV export.
Succorfish Products that Integrate with Lampris
The Lampris can be deployed as a standalone depth and temperature sensor with its dedicated app, or it can be deployed alongside the SC2 Gen 3 platform to provide real-time transmission of all readings even outside cellular coverage.
SC2 Global Connectivity
When paired with the Lampris, the SC2 Gen 3 provides global connectivity via LTE Cat 1 BIS cellular or Iridium satellite, real-time data transmission, highly accurate positioning, plus secure onboard storage.
GIGO Fishing Gear Beacon
The GIGO automatically tracks deployment and retrieval of fishing equipment for REM compliance and efficient recovery of gear. The Lampris can be added to equipment already tracked with GIGO devices to add depth and temperature to the dataset.
SC2 Data Platform
The Succorfish SC2 platform provides a centralised highly secure data platform, ensuring complete data integrity with real-time accessibility, anywhere.
What data does Lampris measure?
Lampris logs precise depth and temperature readings at a configurable sampling interval of 1 second or greater, storing up to 29,400 records in 512 KB of onboard memory.
Water Depth Sensor:
Lampris measures depth using a pressure-derived Keller sensor, converting hydrostatic pressure readings into precise depth values to a rated accuracy of ±0.02% FS (full scale). This approach delivers consistent, drift-resistant performance across the sensor’s full operating range, to depths exceeding 4000 m.
Water Temperature Sensor:
Lampris continuously measures water temperature to an accuracy of ±0.1 °C, using the same integrated Keller sensor package. Paired depth and temperature readings provide a complete picture of subsea conditions at the point of measurement — critical for identifying thermoclines, monitoring environmental change, and verifying gear or equipment performance.
Gear-In, Gear-Out Events:
Lampris incorporates GIGO technology, allowing it to double as a fishing gear beacon, automatically recording deployment and retrieval events for fishing gear such as nets or pots. This gives fishers a complete picture of both environmental conditions and gear activity, from deployment to retrieval, across an entire string, all from a single device.
Future Capabilities:
Designed with future-proofing in mind, the Lampris depth and temperature platform supports expansion through future environmental and scientific sensor integrations, including parameters such as conductivity/salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and other mission-specific sensors.

The Lampris App
Lampris can be used as a standalone depth and temperature sensor, logging data to its dedicated app, or paired with the SC2 Gen 3 for real-time global connectivity. Either way, no data is ever lost.
- Live Data — when Lampris is above the surface and within coverage, data is transmitted in real time to the Lampris app via Bluetooth and globally if paired via the SC2 Gen 3.
- Logged Data — once the device enters the water, data is stored as high-resolution datasets and is synced automatically once reconnected.
All data syncs to the dedicated Lampris app for access anytime, anywhere. Divers, operators, or skippers have full control within the app to:
- Configure the device
- Download logged data
- Run diagnostics
There’s no complicated manual download process, no separate cables, no friction between Lampris leaving the water and having usable data.
Applications for Marine Depth & Temperature Sensors
Recording precise depth and temperature data over time is essential across a range of marine industries, where it supports regulatory compliance, environmental research, and the safety and performance verification of subsea assets and operations.
Fisheries
Data from Lampris provides an auditable record of gear depth and soak time, helping vessels meet regulatory reporting requirements, making this an excellent Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) device. Depth and temperature data enables more effective and sustainable fishing operations because it provides insight into gear performance and target species behaviour, such as temperature-linked migration.
Dive Logging
A Lampris beacon worn directly on a diver’s kit is a dive logging device that will record depth, temperature, start, end and duration of a dive, as well as location. Providing compliance reporting and valuable effort data, along with depth and temperature, all on the same platform.
Marine Conservation, Scientific Research & Oceanography
Continuous, high-resolution depth and temperature data supports both ecological and physical ocean research. It helps track climate-driven changes such as ocean warming, habitat health and species behaviour, informing conservation policy, while the same long-term datasets allow researchers to study water column stratification, thermoclines and ocean current dynamics, characterising the physical processes that govern ocean systems.
Offshore Wind & Infrastructure
Depth and temperature data support site assessments, seabed condition monitoring, and verification of installation depths for cables, foundations, pipelines, and subsea platforms, providing an environmental baseline throughout construction and operation. Ongoing monitoring also helps verify asset positioning and supports integrity and corrosion risk assessments, since water temperature is a key factor in subsea corrosion rates.
