I guess the three UAVs are working in 8 hr shifts.
8 hour survey - Data download few minutes - recharge.

DIRECTOR-6000 goes down 1000 m (DIRECTOR-1000 300 m)

Under perfect conditions ULB can be heard from 4000 m, under normal conditions 2000 m may be.

How deep is the seabed there anyway?
Very deep. 3000m +.
