http://makeprojects.com/Project/Water-Leak-Detector/1382/1 Forget the upper part ( the power supply ) and use the ROV power instead. Place electronics in controller and place a sensor in the ROV sensor can be 2 wires with ~ 1cm blank ends use some HMA (Hot melt adhesive) to secure on the ROV bottom

standard speed of light = c ( in a vacuum ) in air the speed of light is almost the same as in a vacuum ( = c / 1.0003 ) in water the speed of light is c / 1.333 most measuring tools are designed for working in air, so when use in water you have to recalculate the distance cool diy projects on a las...

If using a standard lasertool for measuring distances underwater you have to correct it, because the speed of light is not the same in the water as in air or vacuum.
The speed of light is a factor 1.333 slower through water @ 20 degree celcius then through a vacuum.

In the picture section A and B are the lights and in these lightbeams backscatter can occure. In section C there is...

For good lighting you need the correct color and enough light. If you wanted to use LEDs the the color temp should be 6000 - 6500 K this is the same color temp as normal daylight. And you need lots of light so go for something like this http://www.ledssuperbright.com/30w-led-c-18/100w-white-high-pow...

Or you can use a IP webcam or security camera.
