Official Chasing M2 Professional Submersible ROV with 4K Video Discussion Thread

This is seriously cool. I would have killed to have something like this when I lived in coastal MA. Occasionally a ball of herring would get trapped by predators,. probably striped bass, at the head of a little cove across from my house. I'd watch the birds dive in and see the sea surface roil. How freaking cool would it be to be a fly, I mean submersible, watching it from below?

We would also go snorkeling in a different, starfish, lobsters, crabs, small fish including a small shark called a dogfish were common...again How freaking cool would it be to send in an rov?

Now that I'm in NM, all I have are some murky lakes. Not quite the same. But this is so freaking cool Motion.

I want one. Now I just need.to justify one in a desert...
