Pond Pumps?
Can pond pumps be used as thrusters? I was looking on amazon and found the link below that seems like it might work. I am assuming that they would go extremely fast, and i'm not sure how deep they could go. But if I wanted to go very fast would these work well? http://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-AAPW40...

Re: Collector?
Thanx! I didnt think about adapting the dredge to do that! haha and yes it would be hard to get close do you think it would be powerful enough though to pick up snails and stuff like that? :l

Re: making cat5 neutrally buoyant
I didnt think of that, but you are right that its easier to reel withoutfloatsscubersteve wrote:I would disagree. If it worked it would be easier to reel and stronger.
No lumpy add on floats to work around.
I just need to find out if it works.

Re: making cat5 neutrally buoyant
I would just recommend strapping floats/weights to it instead, its cheaper and easier
