ROV, tethered to 40 meters of cable, prepares to dive. 
 
 The remotely operated vehicle (ROV) has a tether with copper cable and optical fibers inside.  The copper cables supply the ROV with electricity 
and optical fibers allow communication with the ROV, and feed data and video collected by the ROV back to the ship.
