A remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) could search for submerged divers; but ROVs are expensive to run, and as technology is now could not attack several targets one after another as quickly as a marine mammal. [2]: 13 An underwater ROV needs to be controlled. It could find and identify divers, and perhaps deter them.
