Coral Reefs

Natural coral reefs come in all shapes and sizes, from off-shore banks and walls to patch reefs and fringing reefs. Reef Smart Guides can create 3D models of any reef type, even blending aerial modeling data to produce a combined above and below water model for shore-accessible sites.

Wrecks & Artificial Reefs

Ship wrecks and artificial reefs are perhaps the most popular 3D models we create for our partners. Reef Smart Guides has completed 3D models that range in size from bronze sculptures, like Simon Morris' Amphitrite in Grand Cayman, to the vast multi-dive historic wreck of RMS Rhone in the British Virgin islands.
