Many underwater operations that were once carried out by divers can now be carried out more efficiently and with less risk with Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). This is the first ROV ?how-to? manual for those involved with smaller observation class ROVs used for surveying, inspection, observation and research purposes. As ROV technology becomes increasingly efficient and affordable, their use is rapidly spreading throughout a myriad of industries, everything from aquaculture to port and harbour security to underwater crime scene investigation, marine salvage, deep sea archaeology and commercial diving – even deep sea rescue missions are handled by ROVs. Any industry involved with underwater investigation and surveying will inevitably rely on these machines. The ROV Manual is the first user guide to provide complete training and knowledge on ROV operations for engineers, technicians or underwater recreational enthusiasts, whether working inland or offshore.

The "Operational Effectiveness of Unmanned Underwater Systems" is a book on CD-ROM edited and co-authored by Robert Wernli. The book contains details about unmanned systems, their expected performance, including full descriptions and specifications, how they operate, where they are operating and how successfully, and what they can be expected to do in the future. The CD-ROM, which contains 700 pages with 390 photographs, charts and diagrams, is available from the Marine Technology Society at www.rov.org.
