1500w psu subsea and a dc boxtopside works great with a 2kw inverter generator

If I could just ping you with some random questions…

What tether are you using?

What material is the buoyancy and what is the coating?

2kw generator means you’re sending 120vac down?

How does it fly?

Was the purpose to make room for specialty equipment?

:ok_hand:
