Well, there are many ways of waterproofing. If wires are exiting a waterproof case, the hole has to be waterproof. There are a lot of ways of waterproofing a hole, but the trick is to see if it reamains waterproof when the ROV dives. The preasure at depths is the real problem.
A few years ago, we built a PVC ROV and we modified PVC fittings with epoxy for waterproof conectors that were to be used in a swimming pool (20 foot depth). Our connections held up well, but the Pelican Case that is "waterproof" leaked. It had an O ring on the lid that leaked at a joint. A small leak, but when the ROV is underwater for a half hour, even a small leak lets in a lot of water.
