Last week I attended a science teacher conference. While there, I was able to test the ROV several times in the bay. A problem experienced was how murky the east bay was. The ROV went as deep as 10 according to the sonar buoy I deployed. The ROVs inability to surface when it went below 5 feet indicates it's time to switch the buoyancy method from compressible fism to incompressible air tanks.
Here are some data and images collected.

| The ROV made several excursions during this test. Notice how dark the water becomes as the ROV dives lower. |
