#HOVAlvin did something unique on the #GalapagosDeep2023 expedition (other than find a new deep-water coral reef, anyway). It crossed the Equator more than 2100m underwater. #NSFfunded U.S. National Science Foundation Office of Naval Research (ONR)

If you were thinking, 'Gee, I wish there was video of that elf making the #HOVAlvin recovery,' well, we got you covered. All business no matter what the getup. U.S. National Science Foundation #NSFfunded Office of Naval Research (ONR) UNOLS

New divers are the life blood of the deep-sea research community and the #HOVAlvin program. Congratulations to all. Where do you want to dive next? U.S. National Science Foundation Office of Naval Research (ONR) UNOLS #NSFfunded

#Throwback to the #1969 recovery of #HOVAlvin after 10 months at 5,000 ft. Besides these canned rations, apples and a bologna sandwich were found to still be edible–evidence that near-freezing temps & low O2 aids preservation. Go back in time with Alvin! bit.ly/3NPvKng

Even though it’s built to work under ice, it’s also effective in the ice-free open ocean.

Love capturing the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) NUI team hard at work aboard E/V Nautilus 🌊🌊🌊

Larvae from the #veligervoyage with Dr. Roxanne Beinart (she/her/hers) at hydrothermal vents in the Lau Basin! So many beautiful gastropod veligers on this snail cruise! Can you name all the other larval types?

Thanks to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)’s #AUVSentry and #ROVJason for our larval collections.

14 dives later… the last Sentry dive is officially back on deck!!! 👏🏻

Shout out to our amazing Sentry team: Justin, Isaac, Rebecca, Joe, and Zac - you all are the best toucans we could’ve asked for 🐥 Thank you all for your hard work this trip!

After 2 weeks of incredible deep sea work in the beautiful Gulf of California… both Jason and Sentry are on deck and we are steaming back to the US. #deepsubmergence #ndsf #rovjason #auvsentry #nsffunded @whoi

A welcome sight. Way to go #ROVJason . One down (or up) and one to go.
