Warnings: None that I can think of immediately?

[Hiro is tinkering away in his dedicated space to work and research, Baymax observing nearby and apparently attempting to help clean up a little. The teen speaks as he works on something or other, notes next to him.]

I was thinking.....I know others here are also...uh, I guess, inventors? We should help out, work together? I know there've been times when we've needed to like, dive and go underwater, right? I've been thinking if I can come up with something to help with that? It's just a matter of coming up with ideas. What might work? Diving is fine, but even that only gets you down so far. And you'd have limited oxygen with the tanks....Maybe some sort of machine you can go in? It'd have to be tested and stuff. Make sure it's safe. That it could handle the pressure.....I dunno. If anyone has any suggestions, ideas? I've dealt with making suits for other stuff, but not so much the water. That kind of makes things a bit more complicated. Maybe something like a drone for underwater? So we can look around to be sure of whatever we might find, and then go down after.....?

[He ends up more sort of spouting off ideas to himself more than anything, and Baymax glances over at the teen, telling him that he should go and take a break. Get some rest and something to eat. Hiro does have a tendency to get rather distracted and focused on his plans, his work, and ignoring anything else.]

Okay, okay, bud. I'm coming. Um, yeah, let me know what you guys think?

[Hiro says before giving a wave and ending the video so Baymax will stop telling him to take a break.]

Yes, that's correct.

Depending on just how far down the drone is able to go into the ocean, that may be your best solution as far as disguises go to keep most other deep sea fish from wanting to come near it... well, except for perhaps any smaller ones that may not know better and are attracted to the light the drone might give off, but those ones should not be particularly worrying.

[baymaxing]

Yeah. I do think the design is important, if we can figure out a way to camouflage and make it blend in. I'd be more worried about the bigger ones that could maybe actually damage the drone. Not the tiny little fish or whatever. I can try to come up with a few ideas, and we can see which design might be best?

[octoblot]

If I recall correctly, sharks do prey on anglerfish, but they tend to go after the juveniles, not the adult-sized ones. Dolphins and seals also eat anglerfish, but only when they risk actually leaving the dark depths, so I think as long as your drone is large enough to be considered an adult-sized angler, and sinks down in the darkness quickly enough before it draws attention from any large mammals like the ones I mentioned before...

Regardless, I must admit at this point that I don't know much when it comes to robotics and technomancy, so I will have to trust your judgement in regard to coming up with various designs first and determining what would work best for the drone outside of just being able to blend in.

[baymaxing]

So really, it'd just have to be a factor of the size? If the anglerfish might work.....

Well. Leave the robotics and tech to me. But between me doing that and you and whoever else knows more about underwater stuff to consider, I'm sure we can figure it out together. Make this work.
