The ROV Manual

Many Removes of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This is the first ROV 'how-to' manual for surveys, inspection, observation and research. As ROV technology is being carried out, and is being carried out, is a port and a crime scene, marine salvage, deep sea archeology and commercial diving handled by ROVs. Any industry involved with underwater investigation and surveying will inevitably rely on these machines. The ROV Manual is the first user guide to provide comprehensive training for engineers, technicians or underwater recreational enthusiasts, whether working inland or offshore.

* The first book to focus on the observation class. ROV underwater deployment and use in real conditions for industrial, scientific and recreational tasks
* A complete user guide is a ROV operation and an effective way to get the most out of it.
* Ideal for anyone involved with ROVs in research, business or leisure activities, or for heavier offshore projects, complete with self-learning questions and answers
