Not sure if everyone has seen this story. Mote marine is missing one of their robots. It was last seen off venice area. They are offering a reward for its return. I know what I ll be lookin for while im diving next week lol.

After having spent 3 years working with these POS Slocum Gliders (Waldo, Nemo & Carmen)at Mote, I think it's unlikely you're gonna find it unless you're diving in more than 100 fsw, and then you'll probably find it sitting dead on the bottom. They are prone to leakage. Bring a lift bag to recover it, they weighs about 85 lbs. BTW Mote is only offering a $500 reward. The gliders cost $300,000. What a bargin huh?
