Abstract

Marine Geophysics practices are performed in the subjects of �Marine Geology�, of the Marine Sciences degree, and �Geophysics and Geophysical Prospecting� of the Geology degree in the University of Alicante. The practices are carried out with a-high-resolution seismic boomer equipment carried on a ship. During the last 4 courses the practices have been conducted, being very problematic in bad weather days. Therefore, we have thought the alternative of doing practices onshore, releasing the equipment from the dock, supplemented by the use of an ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle). For this we have built our ROV, adapting a previous design, to which is attached an underwater camera for diving in different areas of the docks. Thus a non-dependent on the weather, more adequate to increasingly less flexible schedules, and much cheaper practice is achieved, since there is no need to rent a boat.
