5.3 Recommended Pre-Dive checklist
The following is a suggestion list of items to be checked during a Pre-Dive procedure when using
SeaKing 700 units.
• The communications protocol for the Bathy is known and the topside control unit has been setup
appropriately
• All cabling has been correctly fitted with o-rings and is secure
• The head has been securely fastened to the ROV
• All offsets (Altimeter and Digiquartz) have been measured and entered into Seanet Pro
• Latitude information has been correctly entered into Seanet Pro
• Barometric pressure has been correctly entered into Seanet Pro
• Third party outputs (to Survey packages) are setup in REMV4
• If requiring absolute measurements:
a. The Port Up/Port Down offset has been entered into the DQ Zero section of Seanet Pro
b. The ROV is deployed and held at the surface so that the sensors can stabilise
• If requiring relative measurements:
a. A value is entered into DQ Zero that gives a reading of 0.000m on screen.
b. This would conclude the minimum recommended pre-dive checks required for the
Bathy.
Note
All other pre-dive checks would need to be carried out as per your own
guidelines and procedures.
