Dive Down Deep
From GoPros to drones to phones we have different devices to allow us to take photos and videos. Although they have invented underwater GoPros, you have to have the device on you so you can retrieve the video or photo. Drones allow you to take videos or pictures higher than what you can reach. They have a camera that connects to an app allowing you to see. You control the drone with a remote controller, these drones are not waterproof. This is what led to the invention of underwater drones.
The drone allows you to explore deep depths of water to which a human cannot reach without scuba diving equipment. Even with the equipment humans can only travel so far before losing all oxygen supply. The underwater drone allows us to explore the depths with no harm or danger. Just like the regular drone it connects to an app and is controlled with a remote controller.
Underwater drones are available online and in some stores. The price range for these drones is pretty expensive. The price for one of the drones can range anywhere between 400 dollars to 30,000 dollars. The drones have a certain length of battery before they stop working. After they run out of battery time you have to charge the drone.
Online reviews have mixed reviews on the drone. The drone is a great tool if you like seeing underwater without going underwater, but people have complained how it has stopped working while underwater. Other reviews have stated that it is a waste of money, and being defected or not functioning right. Despite the reviews the drone is definitely worth getting if the consumer enjoys underwater exploration.
Despite the reviews, I think the underwater drone is a cool experience for underwater exploration. Even if the use of the drone is just to try it out and have fun, it definitely seems quite interesting.
