19. Looks like it's configured for
depth, temp, and salinity.

This doesn't appear to be anything like the BP ROV's. I wouldn't be surprised if the team working on this had to beg borrow or steal the device from another country. The same scientist giving the interview, was on the Alvin, many months ago, inspecting as close as they could get, given the boundaries the coast guard established around the Deepwater Horizon disaster site.

If it belongs to some science institute, I would assume it's metric through and through.

One place I would be looking, if I was on that team, is ocean floor below the level of wellhead 252, as the oil is pooling, and has been sinking. The wellhead was not the deepest feature in the Macondo field. There are deeper features, not far from the wellhead.
