My comment:
(a) Read the last four paragraphs only.
(b) Renus scanners to locate the recorders first and Remora 6000 to retrieve
them.

ROV: remotely operated underwater vehicle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROV
"The 5-foot-long, 25-horsepower ROV can operate to a depth of 6,000 meters (
19,700 feet) and has two Hydro-Lek six-function manipulators to grapple
objects; two cameras; and powerful lights to illuminate the depths. Its
sensors include a laser gyro and scanning sonar.

My comment: I guess not much information is public available about Remus
6000 and Remora 6000--civilian use of the former at least is operated by the
company that makes it--not due to trade secrets but to military secrets. |
