Homebuilt ROVs Forum

Hello everyone. My name is Alex. I'm new to ROV's, but i would like to join your team and learn more (theoretical and practical) about them. My current project is a ROV that can reach at least 700 ft (213m). I have acquired the first parts to built the main body and my tether wire (stranded telephone cable).

My first question is: how deep has ever reached a homebuilt ROV? I have been searching on net for a while, but i didn't manage to find an answer.

Many thanks for all you that created and support this forum!!!

hi and welcome. im not sure about records but one person on this site has footage from 280 feet.

Hello and welcome to the forum

@jason howard: I saw that footage today and i'm absolutely impressed from that depth. BTW, i'm still trying to finish my own design (awaiting props and a color camera from Ebay).
