I did find my old camera a while back. I noticed the lens somehow unscrewed and fell off the board camera. Oh well! Here it is though...

In the background you'll notice a Lowrance Structure Scan side scan sonar. That's really been the catalyst to my interest being rekindled. As soon as I ordered it last weekend, I told my wife it's going to drive me completely nuts when I run across some interesting object 40 feet down. I'll have to put my eyes on it and I'm not about to jump into the middle of the bay and dive down to check out some spooky looking object! Hence the ROV idea was back at the forefront of my thoughts. I got only to see what people were doing and found this forum.
At this point I'm compiling information and ideas. I'm trying to go single tether (would love to use multi-mode fiber) but version 1 might end up multi tether in the interest of simplicity and cost savings. I'd put my chances of starting this project at about 70%. I'm very busy with work and other projects but would like to make room for this. I'm probably going to start with a camera only project. I just happen to have a 7 inch LCD that would work nicely too, so time to break out some silicone and plexi!
For those of you that haven't seen the Structure Scan, here is a screen capture someone posted!
