GOOD intro ROV manual
Would be better to have more information on application process and procedure in real world i.e: Oil & Gas and other industry.

Comprehensive but often tedious introduction to a complex subject
I've just finished this book and it took a lot of effort to get through it. It's very comprehensive but doesn't fill the gap in the market for an introductory book to the ROV arena. It could do with a section on hydraulics in the same manner as the section on fibre optics. For someone already working in the field, it would certainly fill in a lot of possible knowledge gaps but a much more basic volume for the absolute rookie, assuming a certain level of technical knowledge, is certainly a distinct necessity and I don't think this book covers that. However, its contents are very well researched and put together and there are a lot of very useful tables, drawings and photographs that illustrate key ideas, facts and concepts. Certainly a good book for anyone already in or contemplating entry into the ROV field and well worth reading but it drops a star for not putting itself in the rookie's place enough.

This book is very informative and helped me with my university work. Great book would recommend it. However, some aspects will not be outdated.

Great book, in depth and informative!
Great book that covers all relevant subjects of this topic. Could be made a bit more capturing with more practical examples and pictures to keep the readers interest in the most theoretical parts, but other than that a great book on the subject.
