I've designed and started building a mini ROV using Blue Robotics thrusters and housings. You can follow my progress here:

Wow really nice setup!
I have also ordered housing by bluerobotics and will be using for a drop camera system with pan/tilt and pan cam/light plus a hydrophone and some sensors.

Very nice!
I have a few ideas for video and control, but no final decisions yet. Part of my goal is to use off the shelf components where ever possible, so I'm still looking at options.

That's looking really good. I'm thinking of getting a BlueRobotics enclosure for my project so it's good to hear they're well made.
May I ask where you got the dome from? It looks like it fits perfectly!

The dome is a new Blue Robotics product that is in beta testing. For more info you will need to contact Rusty at Blue Robotics.

Thanks for the info. Actually after I posted that question I did notice on the Blue Robotics site it mentioned that they'll be introducing domes soon so it's good to see one in action, even in a pre-release state.
