Australian Newbie stranded in Paradise (Bali)
Posted: Nov 28th, 2020, 9:45 pm
Hi,
I'm Geoff. Briefly I am a Maritime Archaeology student who came for a week in March to Bali. Then Covid hit and here I am. I am working on a self-funded project exploring shipwrecks around Bali. After a 53 meter dive I decided that there was a better way to explore and survey wrecks. That journey brought me to the world of ROVs. I have always thought that ROVs were for big budget treasure hunters when so much was at stake. That is, until I researched a bit more. That led me to the humble Sea Perch. Simple though it may be, it opened up a whole new world which shows, thanks to this forum, that it is possible to build effective ROVs for much less than those that are commercially available.
Honored to be here.
