An underwater powered observation system useful for ice fishing and capable of driving down an augured hole in the ice in a particular orientation that receives propulsion directions via a miniature multi-conductor cable connected to a color monitor integral to a control unit. The submersible vehicle assembly is powered by an onboard rechargeable battery that energizes both horizontal and vertical thrusters to guide and move the vehicle assembly through the water from directions communicated by the control unit. The submersible vehicle assembly may include a laser adapted to be directed to the underside of ice so as to locate the vehicle assembly allowing the user to cut a hole using a standard commercial ice auger in the ice at or near fish. In this manner the vehicle assembly may be utilized for the underwater tasks of locating fish, observing scenery, boat and pier inspection, object recovery, and other underwater tasks. The submersible vehicle assembly is particularly useful for ice fishing where such submersible vehicle assembly may controlled under the ice to locations of fish.
