ROV SuBastian Dive 205 Costa Rican Shelf Break

ROV SuBastian Dive 205 Costa Rican Shelf Break

This is the 5th dive of the #AdvancingAutonomy expedition taking place off the coast of Costa Rica. The team will be taking ROV SuBastian to a depth of 750m to explore multiple sites where the multibeam sonars have identified bubble seeps. Additional waypoints along the dive track were picked by the automated mission planner. We will be testing a subsea mass spectrometer and collecting push-core and water samples based on data. We will also continue testing the installed 3D camera system to record arm manipulation for future autonomous environment manipulation algorithms.
