Micro DIY ROV...... Second Dive....

Post by Bindo »

Dive at an abandoned quarry in Aberdeenshire, UK.

Really good site for some inland ROV'ing, bit of a hike to get to though!

very happy with this video!

Impressive effort. ROV, site, production. I think that the use of the static camera is brilliant too.

Wow - very high quality video. I hope my ROV turns out as well as yours has.

All that scrap metal down there must be worth a few £ now :)

Thanks for the kind words guys, I really appreciate it.

Apparently the green layer is an anaerobic bacteria, that thrives in an oxygen depleted environment, probably due to ask the scrap metal. The Green layer happens pretty suddenly as you descend, I thought my camera was taking on water during the decent and I was witnessing it's last moments!

But even despite the green bacteria the vis is decent everywhere.

Bonus points if anyone can name the car make and model without googling the reg number.
