You aren't going to be able to buy one of these, but if you give
Wood's Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI, pronounced "who-ee") a call
they might be able to point you at references.  They built it full
custom from scratch, and copying the robot and it's support systems
(you want Alvin and the mother ship too?) would probably cost you a
bazillion dollars.  What do you want a robot that can go down a couple
of miles for anyway?  :+)  Fascinating technology though!
