Although range finding underwater is performed at both sub-audible and audible frequencies for great distances ( 1 to several kilometers ), ultrasonic range finding is used when distances are shorter and the accuracy of the distance measurement is desired to be finer.

These facts made it impractical to use Preece's system on either ships, boats, or ordinary islands ( ones much smaller than Great Britain or Greenland ), and the relatively short distances that a practical Preece system could span meant that it had few advantages over underwater telegraph cables.

This caused problems with the underwater scenes in Alien Resurrection ( 1997 ), some of which had to be reshot numerous times.

Like other amniotes ( reptiles, dinosaurs, birds, and mammals ), they breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or around water.

The development of submarines, for example, can be traced via underwater archaeological research, via the Hunley which was the first submarine to sink an enemy ship ( Hunley also had unique construction details not found in previous vessels and was one of the only historic warships ever raised intact ), the Resurgam II, the first powered submarine, and Holland 5, which provides insight into the development of submarines in the British Navy.

As with archaeology on land, some techniques are essentially manual, using simple equipment ( generally relying on the efforts of one or more scuba divers ), while others use advanced technology and more complex logistics ( for example requiring a large support vessel, with equipment handling cranes, underwater communication and computer visualisation ).

The brown rat is nocturnal and is a good swimmer, both on the surface and underwater, but unlike the related black rat ( Rattus rattus ), they are poor climbers.

Fitts's law has been shown to apply under a variety of conditions, with many different limbs ( hands, feet, head-mounted sights, eye gaze ), manipulanda ( input devices ), physical environments ( including underwater ), and user populations ( young, old, special educational needs, and drugged participants ).
