ROV Submersible Project - DIY Built Underwater Rover

This is an overview about a remotely operated submersible that was DIY built. The goal of the project is to build a submersible that can traverse under water areas to find interesting objects. This video details the design and build of the submersible and first few dives it took. It is utilizing the ArduSub software and QGroundControl for the ground station software. All in all, if you have a 3D printer, a soldering iron, and a Dremel, you can make this same submersible. The diving location is in Lake Raystown, a man made lake that was once a small town. Many structures were left in the lake when it was filled with water, one of which is a bridge which we take a look at in this video. Lake Raystown is quite murky so we can’t typically see more than two or three feet in front of us. In the future we’d like to take this submersible to a clearer lake or even perhaps the ocean.
