<div><span>The only problem is, Gamma's manipulator has a power only to close gripper. The gripper opens with outside water pressure pushing against it. So I have to jump out of the sub to open the gripper each time. I was trying to explain this to my wife and she replied "can't you just put it in a pail of water" I am still laughing inside of coarse :-)</span></div>
