BECOME AN UNDERWATER EXPLORER
Congratulations! Your new Aqua-Vu MAV underwater viewing system allows you become an aquatic
explorer without getting wet! You now hold in your possession perhaps the most profound piece of fish-
ing technology ever devised.
While a depth-finder provides depth and a “representation” of the terrain below the boat, MAV actually
shows you a fish-eye view of the underwater world—like scuba diving without the limitations of an
oxygen tank, depth concerns, or even worrying about getting wet. With your boat-mounted MAV you
will immediately begin discovering a whole new “planet” of underwater adventure—and experiencing
fishing in an exciting and entirely new way. Don’t be too surprised if you suddenly find yourself catch-
ing more fish and having more fun!
ABOUT YOUR AQUA-VU MAV
For the first time ever, simultaneous boat fishing and underwater viewing has become a reality.
Traditionally, viewers controlled camera depth manually. With cable in hand and eyes glued to the moni-
tor, they'd busily raise and lower the camera as depth and boat speed required. The Motorized Aqua-Vu
or “MAV” automatically deploys and retrieves the underwater camera with a footpad. The foot con-
trolled MAV is the first hands-free underwater viewing system ever made. The MAV mounts to your boat
and allows you to fish and watch your camera at the same time-- a major breakthrough in underwater
viewing technology.
