Phoenix2 This is from a return trip I took to Landover, MD to visit the office of Phoenix International. I was there to witness a test of the drilling equipment mounted on the back of their ROV, the Nereus II. The tests went wonderfully, and a nice clean hole was drilled in the limestone in less than an hour.
