UWEX^®

Underwater metal detectors of type UWEX^® and MAGNEX^® are indispensable for the fields of underwater archeology as well as for professional diving-for-treasure work. Thus, for example, the MAGNEX^®  130 underwater magnetometer and the UWEX^® 725 K UW searching systems for sophisticated professional operations are being used by ARQUEONAUTAS WORLDWIDE S.A. (AWW) in its Indonesian project.

The entry level models UWEX^® 720 C and UWM 20 are also being successfully used there.

Graf Sandizell, the founder of ARQUEONAUTAS, states: „Our operation teams must be equipped with the very best technical equipment. For this reason we co-operate with SECON.“

A member of the EBINGER group of companies, SECON Sicherheitstechnische Anlagen GmbH, Wiesbaum/Eifel looks after the marketing of searching and locating devices for the wide market and in particular of metal detectors for use on land and underwater.
