Use immersed electronics.
ROVs and the like have quite complicated onboard control systems. They're immersed in mineral oil (or something like that). They don't get wet and hydrostatic pressure is no longer an issue.
- mnw21cam 10y agoSpinning rust hard drives have an air-filled (or helium-filled sometimes) cavity in which the spinning rust spins. If you're building a computer immersed in oil, you generally need to leave that part outside the oil. Provides great thermal conductivity though.
