Exploration Team Challenges and Observations

Rick and Marty Lagina hire a team to explore a 235-foot deep shaft using a remote-operated vehicle (ROV). They hope to find man-made artifacts, such as a treasure chest, but face challenges in identifying objects. The exploration leads to a debate about the findings and plans for future exploration, with some team members believing they have reached a standstill, while others remain optimistic about the potential discoveries.

What was the primary purpose of sending the ROV to the bottom of the shaft?

• To capture high-quality images

• To retrieve a treasure chest

• To measure the depth of the shaft

• To repair the shaft

What did the team initially observe in the cavern?
