The vehicle should be visually inspected following each
dive to ensure that no mechanical damage has occurred.
Visually check through the ports to ensure that no water has entered the camera housings.
Inspect the tether for cuts and/or nicks or kinks in the outer shell.
A fresh water rinse is required if the vehicle has been operated in salt water.
Re-check all vehicle functions. To prevent unexpected thruster operation, switch the Auto Depth switch to OFF, center the Manual Depth Control knob, and switch Auto Heading OFF before storing the system.
Store the tether and vehicle properly for the next use. Refer to specific manufacturer’s recommendations for tether storing procedures
