Abstract: Apparatus for cleaning an underwater surface has a brush/shroud assembly for scrubbing fouling from the underwater surface. One or more brush/shroud assemblies can be supported on a brush cart with three degrees of freedom of movement relative to a frame of the brush cart. Debris released by cleaning is captured within the shroud and removed through an outlet by rotational flow forces created by the brush and an impeller rotating within the shroud. The outlet is coupled to a surface pump to transfer removed fluid and debris to a surface filtration unit.
