how do you transmit the data to the surface water does all kinds of cool
things to radio waves. It is only a recent development that U.S subs have
been able to return communication while submerged.
a solid link is the only solution or store the data then why not use a video
camera and transfer the footage when you get home.
I have e-mailed the group regarding this problem before and while extreemly
helpful no solution within a reasonable budget could be suggested.
