Since I live in New Jersey, I have heard many rumors as of what is off the coast, and that created interest to try to look at these, if they are there. I'm not dive certified, but I thought of another way. I'm in the stages of building an ROV. It will have a video camera, a manipulating arm (to grab items) and thrusters converted from bilge pumps with modified RC aircraft props. Any one else have an interest of what's at the bottom of local lakes and other bodies of water? I will post some pics later on, as I'm in the middle of the painting stage.

Sounds interesting...make sure your component cases and seals can hold up to the pressure at the operating depth (about 50 psi per 100').

LOTS and LOTS of SHIPWRECKS!!! Including many U-boats and arguably the most famous out off New Jersey would be the Andrea Dora: SS Andrea Doria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



On the deep side for most people (about 175' to the side, 260' deep to the bottom) but, with the right training and experience, very dive-able.

I'm almost done with this project. Waiting on some 1"x12''x12'' clear acrylic to come in for my camera window. I finished building the light housing this weekend, and hope to get some paint done. I can post pics if anybody wants. Spent alot of nights and trips to the hardware stores trying to figure out how to build it. Cant wait to get it wet, hope in a few weeks.
