Recently, a team of 9 engineering students from Rochester Institute of Technology constructed a ROV capable of diving to 400 feet. Dan Scoville — a 2005 RIT grad who claims to have located 3 virigin, undisclosed wrecks in Lake Ontario — led the team and largely financed the project. Scoville and the team intend to use the ROV this summer to explore the wrecks in Lake Ontario as well as to search the Atlantic Ocean.
