Unnamed Seamount "T07" | SOI Divestream 694

Today's dive location, a seamount labeled "T07" internally, was actually partially mapped by Falkor (too) back in January, during our expedition exploring the Seamounts of the Southeast Pacific. ROV SuBastian will begin the dive by descending to ~1100m before moving upslope to the peak of a small rocky knoll at roughly 850m depth. The ROV will then conduct a midwater transit to the slope of the main summit, 1.5km away. Our target ending depth is 650m, atop a secondary peak.
