The OceansWide Vehicles and Vessels
What is an ROV?
An
ROV is a transformation machine that will allow ordinary
people to become deep sea explorers and stewards of the oceans.
ROV is the acronym for Remotely Operated Vehicle. With submersibles,
or vehicles that fly under-the-sea, they are sometimes tethered
to the ship through a long electrical cord. ROVs are different
from "manned" submersibles or vehicles that can
carry one or more scientists inside. ROVs allow users to
see and film, in great detail, ocean activity that occurs
below the surface.
