Underwater drones are still in their infancy. While filmmakers are already using them to create magnificent art, underwater drones haven't approached ubiquity for consumers and enthusiasts. However, Australian company Advanced Navigation believes it can change the landscape (or seascape) with its new Hydrus autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).
Aerial drones have revolutionized the way visual artists can tell stories, and the burgeoning field of underwater drones has begun to achieve the same transformative power for aquatic photo and video.

107 years after it sank off the coast of Antarctica, Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship the HMS Endurance has been found in remarkably good condition, as new photos and 4K video shows.
Japanese telecommunications operator KDDI, commercial drone manufacturer PRODRONE, and underwater robotics firm QYSEA Technology have come together to create what they claim is the first "revolutionary" sea-to-air drone.
Fior Markets, a self-described futuristic market intelligence company, is predicting a massive boom in underwater cameras. In its forecast, it's anticipating the market to reach a value of $15.3 billion by 2027.
Flying drones have become extremely commonplace but also suffer from growing restrictions on their use. It's hard to argue against their novelty, but safety continues to be a concern. So where do drones go next? What about underwater?
