As of 9am central time the sub is still stuck. The Russians have managegd to attach lines to the sub and drag it about 60 towards shore but it's still too deep. A Russian ROV has obtained video and it turns out the sub is not caught in a fishing net but on antenna cabling that's part of Russia's coastal monitoring system. A second Super Scorpio ROV was sent from the UK and arrived a couple of hours ahead of the US Super Scorpio. Both ROVs have arrived and were being offloaded to ships at the last report. There are several conflicting reports from the Russians on how much air is left in the mini-sub.

The British Super Scorpio ROV arrived on the seen a couple of hours before the US Navy's Super Scorpio. The ROV successfully cut the sub free of the cables it was tangled in. The sub was brought to surface and the crew are all okay. There are still conflicting reports about what exactly the sub was tangled in. First it was a fishnet, then a Russian antenna cable system, then it was fishing line but no fishnet, and I've seen several more recent reports saying it really did turn out to be a drifting fishing net.
