ROV Tether Management and Operations

The video tutorial discusses the operation of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) underwater. It highlights the challenges faced by ROV pilots, such as limited visibility and the risk of tether entanglement. The video explains the function of the tether system, which provides power and video feedback to the control room. It also covers the coordination required between pilots to avoid conflicts and ensure smooth operations.

What is one of the main challenges faced by the ROV pilots underwater?

• Limited visibility

• Strong currents

• High water temperature

• Lack of oxygen

What attracts fish to the ROVs?

• The color of the ROVs

• The movement of the tethers

• The lights of the ROVs

• The sound of the engines

What is the primary function of the tethers connected to the ROVs?

• To measure water temperature

• To capture fish

• To provide buoyancy

• To deliver power and communication

How thick are the tethers compared to common objects?

• As thick as a tree trunk

• As thick as a garden hose

• As thick as a pencil

• As thick as a rope
