Logger found at bottom of the atlantic still works
December 1st 2006

Gemini Data Logger's Tinytags measure temperature and humidity in a variety of settings.

Deep sea fishermen use Tinytag loggers to ensure they are in the correct position to catch certain types of temperature-sensitive fish.However, one fisherman really did prove how robust the loggers are.

The captain of fishing trawler M/S Geir was measuring temperatures using the Logger Kit at a depth of 1650 metres in the Atlantic Ocean.They unfortunately lost one of their Loggers, and assumed they would never see it again. But a year and a half later the captain received a call from a Norwegian trawler who had found something in their net that looked like it had originated from the Geir.

It was sent for calibration and further investigation to see whether any data could be recovered.

When the case was opened, the logger was completely intact, and amazingly the data could still be accessed and was accurate.This is proof enough that the Deep Water Loggers are incredibly robust.
