## Quick Answer<\/p>\n

Wet mate: underwater connection. Dry mate: surface connection only. Wet mate 2-3x cost but enables underwater operations.<\/p>\n

## Wet Mate Connectors<\/p>\n

– Oil-filled pressure compensation
\n– Can be mated at depth
\n– ROV tool changes, AUV docking
\n– 2-3x higher cost<\/p>\n

## Dry Mate Connectors<\/p>\n

– Standard O-ring sealing
\n– Must be mated dry
\n– Fixed installations, most ROV\/AUV
\n– Cost-effective<\/p>\n
