   Wow, impressive technology, thanks for sharing. I can see this leading to remote controlled, fully electric underwater digging machines.

   Jep agree i believe that already happens in europe when they dredge through old ammunition areas

   Thats not a large boulder! 1 night at work i heard the PC5500 operator advise the 830E operator to "Hold on, got a big one comin in" and then the next call was from the excavator operator asking what the weight went up by on the trucks scales when he put the last bucket in to which the truck operator replied 76. They were digging some big sandstone cap rock that night so would have been a decent size rock at 76 tons.

   I'm not sure I can even picture a 76 ton boulder!
