David,
Body
searches are probably the worst kind of diving that there is. I hope to
never have to do another. An alternative, effective solution is to use a
cadaver search dog trained for water searches. The record find that I
know of is a dog determining the location of a body in 197 ft. of water in a
quarry in North Jersey. When the diver went down, the body was within 10
feet of where the K-9 alerted to the cadaver?s scent.

Jay,
I do not know how experienced the divers were that these guys were using, but
the body was eventually found snagged in an underwater tree remnant. This
would have been a serious problem for any tethered ROV or submarine as the
entire lake was formed by an earthen damn without removing the wooded area
where the lake itself was formed. The fish seemed to like this
idea.
Nice information to know about...This purpose would not
be my idea of a reason to go
diving...yuck!
