use of a ROV for search and recover operations is growing, now that there is a small ROV that is capable enough. Dive depth restrictions or dangerous conditions are a great reason to put a ROV at risk rather than a human. The ability to survey a site, search for an item or person and even recover the object or person has tremendous value to search and rescue teams around the world.
