A bunch of us (25 ish) headed out to Ile de Madeleine yesterday for a day of ROVing and snorkeling. Despite the short circuit in our main battery (which smoked, and sparked, and flamed), the new ROV demonstrated that:
the wrapping of the batteries in electrical tape was successful
the hydrophone works
the two-battery configuration works
This was a very important and necessary step in the advancement of the technology.
My immediate involvement in ROV-related activities will be put to rest for awhile now as I invest in forming an ISD Kid Dive Team. I'm working with water babies, no question, and the energy of enthusiasm has clearly shifted to the more direct experience of swimming with fish.
Now, where to find wet suits?
