No idea why this got downvoted, it is 100% accurate.



It's not 100% accurate to say that tether is the only practical method. Untethered AUV/UUVs are quite common in the industry.


Please point them out. All the UUVs/AUVs I've found are either tethered to a buoy or completely autonomous and only transmit when the surface. In all practicality there is no completely untethered ROV on the market. Acoustic controlled UUVs are still line of sight.
