About Us 

Teledyne Geophysical Instruments has earned a strong reputation in the industry for delivering high-quality marine seismic exploration products. Our products are used aboard more than one-third of all commercial seismic research vessels.


The Teledyne name in the geophysical industry dates back to the 1960s, when some of our earliest designs for streamer cables, energy sources, and recording systems were put to use aboard seismic research vessels around the world. 

Geophysical Instruments carries on this tradition, and has earned a strong reputation in the industry for designing, building, and delivering high-quality, reliable, and durable marine seismic exploration products. Our products are used aboard more than one-third of all commercial seismic research vessels. 

We continue our focus on serving the needs of the geophysical industry, but we also eagerly assist non-geophysical organizations in finding solutions to their marine data acquisition needs. Our versatile designs for hydrophones and streamer cables can be easily adapted to a variety of unique applications. Additionally, we offer a variety of specialty products and services that are designed to meet specific needs of customers.
