An improved underwater excavation apparatus achieves efficiency and control of movement through provision of a hollow body having at least one inlet and at least one outlet, at least one pair of impellers coaxially displaced one from the other and rotatably mounted in the hollow body, and a mechanism for driving the impellers in contrary rotating directions. The underwater excavation apparatus comprises a pair of horizontally opposed inlets communicating with a single outlet, the outlet being disposed vertically downwards substantially midway between the two inlets, in use. The excavation apparatus may, therefore, be substantially "T" or "Y" shaped. The mechanism for driving the impellers may include at least one drilling motor. |
