Hi David.
The Subfigthers comes in diffrent versions, the one we have availibile now is the 4500 HD version, its been uppgraded with more&bigger trusthers than original versions.
It have near to 4 knots foreward speed, approx 2 knots sideways.
I have used several times down to 700 meters with 1000 meters umbilical in "free fly" mode.
Its not a very complicated system, but its rugged and reliabale
there is a spec on it, on the "ROV" link on my web site http://www.rovogdykk.no
Dayrate vairy a bit ref to long or short term type of work and witch system but are generally around 500 £ for ROV system and 550£ for pilots/tech
Best reg
Jonny
