MiniTIDE
The Valeport miniTIDE is a small Tide Recorder, designed for short-term underwater deployments, ideal for academic studies.

Description
Fitted with a 0.01% temperature-compensated piezo-resistive cell, the miniTIDE will record high-accuracy pressure data for a period of one month at a 10-minute sampling interval using a single alkaline C cell. It is available with a choice of pressure ranges and 500m acetal or 6000m titanium housings.
