Okeanos Explorer (EX1502L3): Caribbean Exploration (ROV)

This will be the first cruise to have 12-hour ROV operations. The daily schedule for the cruise cruises will usually be split between daytime ROV operations and nighttime CTD and mapping operations. ROV operations will focus in depths >500m and will include high-resolution visual surveys. Mapping operations will include overnight sub-bottom data collection over key features, multibeam data collection, and water column backscatter data.
