New Rov Submarine Bluetooth Questions

Well a friend asked if we could eliminate his thick control cable running from his boat to his ROV submarine by using EZ-B. My first thought was all but the two power wires. However this will require that the bluetooth link and camera links be coupled over the 12 volt DC power wires about a 100 feet in water. Any body have any ideas on how to do this? Thanks Neil

Great ideas guys. In my research the xbee is to slow of a data link for this application. I am thinking of using a USB extender (good to 150 feet with cat5 or 6 cable) If I use a dual channel extender, I could use a usb camera and use the other port to interface with EZ-B. Now how do I interface the EZ-B to the USB link without using the bluetooth rf module?
