Speaking of the Asian Water Moinitor (AWM), I do wonder if it's choice at all, over others of a similar regard, may have been due to the requests for the Nile Monitor(NM) to deep-dive.
If they share a rig, it may have been an efficient way of justifying working on an old animal (especially one I sadly don't see get a lot of love anyway) if it's work could have been utilised in a way that seemed to generarte proffit by means of being repackaged and sold as the AWM?
That said, I don't think we have any indication the NM will now Deep Dive, nor if they actually share a rig... purely speculating here! While I'd like it for both, the difference in capacity does naturally lend a reason to build for them differently, though it'd have been nice to have the choice regardless..
