Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are known as tethered underwater mobile devices that are mostly used by oil and gas companies to visit rigs, explore deep water ecology, investigate sea beds, inspect critical areas underwater, plug leaking oil wells, and basically maintain their operations.

But did you know that ROVs are also utilized for research and scientific purposes? SubNet Services has compiled some of the recent rediscoveries (and discoveries) by researchers and scientists through the use of ROVs.

• Small green sponge in Pacific waters off Alaska that could hold cancer-fighting secrets
• Ocean Canyons in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary
• Two extremely rare glass sponge reefs off the coast of British Columbia and Alaska
• Lost US Navy cruiser 5,500 meters below the surface of the Philippine Sea
• Extraordinary “Forest of the Weird” 7,700 feet beneath the surface of the Deep Monument Waters around Johnston Atoll expedition
• Never-before-studied mesophotic coral reefs off the entire coast of Cuba
• World War Two aircraft wreckage discovered in the North Sea
• Cold water coral reefs that could be up to 4,000 years old discovered off west coast
• Samples from Caroline Seamount in the western Pacific Ocean

By and large, ROVs are very important as they benefit a lot of industries worldwide. From oil and gas to construction, survey, military, communication, science and research – you name it all. And did you know that they could also be of personal use to you? Yes, you have read it right. Even you could benefit from ROVs for personal or for professional purposes.
