QYSEA's FIFISH V6 Expert Checks Hulls and Pilings on 4K Video

A commercial diver charges $250 to swim under your boat once and hand you a video. A 4K robot rated to 100 meters does the same swim as often as you like, costs $2,999, and ships today. Hauling a 40-foot boat out just to look costs $640.

Break-even: 12 inspections — or five haul-outs.
