Scuba With Bill

Currently, when divers with the Knox County Water Rescue Team take the plunge, they can communicate with crews on the ground by voice. But now, they’ll also be able to see them very clearly, thanks to the robotic scuba diver.

Divers are counting on the robot to keep a close eye when they’re underwater on dangerous missions.

“It’s got a lot of mobility. There are a lot of high risk things for our divers to go down and look at,” says Capt. David Henderson.
