Hi Andre,

What's the point of being 1000 feet underwater and only seeing things
via video cameras. Unless you are going to use your eyeballs to look 
through view ports you might as well just build a ROV. A ROV would be
cheaper, safer, and you get to run it from a lawn chair with your
favorite cold drink in hand.

Regards,
Ray
