DSV (deep-submergence vehicle)

A Deep-Submergence Vehicle (DSV) is a type of underwater craft designed to dive to great depths in the ocean, often exceeding 10,000 meters. These specialized vehicles are equipped with advanced technology for exploration, research, and sometimes rescue missions in extreme underwater environments. DSVs typically have strong, pressure-resistant structures and can carry scientists and researchers to observe marine life, geological formations, and wrecks. They may use robotic arms and cameras to conduct experiments or document findings, providing valuable insights into the mysteries of the deep sea.
