Please Note:


  • Notice (October 11, 2021): It has come to our attention that some email messages from the Service and Support teams are being automatically sent to recipient’s junk mail folders. To ensure that our teams can effectively resolve your technical support queries and communicate RMA updates, we recommend that you preemptively whitelist @seabird.com email addresses in your email system. If you have an open ticket with Support or Service, please check your junk mail folder for any missed correspondence.
  • Due to a disruption in our supply chain, orders requiring new connectors or cables may require significant additional lead time. For example a custom cable may take 22 weeks or longer to provide at this time. We are working with our supply chain to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
  • Please take special care to install all dummy plugs on your instrument prior to shipment to ensure connectors are adequately protected from potential damage.
  • Before shipping, obtain an RMA number, so that we know your instrument is on the way and can schedule appropriately
  • Read before packing an  SBE 25 or SBE 9plus
  • Shipping batteries
