Underwater plug for the tether

I'm about to begin Guide 5 - Step 31, the tether. I was wondering if there is a waterproof plug or connector that would allow for the separation of the tether from the ROV? I feel that it would certainly be more convenient and manageable. I have googled and amazoned waterproof plugs and connectors and there seem to be several available but I don't know if they are suitable for underwater use. Any help?

Also, does anyone have any ideas on how to manage the tether? I can see 100 meters of wire becoming a jumbled mess.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Great questions.

There are many different topics on our forum related to the question about waterproof connectors. We do not have an official recommendation, but you can see what has worked for other people.

As for the tether management, I would encourage you to take a look at this Community Hack guide that was written.

Good luck with the remaining part of your build!
